I collect tiaras and was really surprised at just how beautiful this one was., given the price. I love the design, it's very elegant. I actually expected it to be a little smaller, and was delighted at how substantial it is. It's a good size and you can't miss it, but it's certainly not too big. For this price, of course it's cheap metal! What people are reviewing is that it bends. It's not a heavy solid metal, it can be twisted in your hands. But it's not really supposed to be worn more than onSee full review
