Necklace tiara

A type of circular necklace composed of a series of jewelled ornaments, each of which has a tiny hook that can be attached to a tiny ring on the adjacent ornament so that all the ornaments will be thus brought into a vertical position to form a tiara. Sometimes it is in the form of a necklace that can be attached to a wire frame to convert it into a tiara.
