Here is a video about the making of H.S.H. Princess Charlene’s Ecume des Jours/Diamond Foam Tiara by Lorenz Baumer.

Princess Charlene of Monaco opted for something much more personal choosing a bold, asymmetrical creation in diamond and white gold that symbolizes the one-time Olympic swimmer’s love for the sea.

… [the] tiara in white gold and nearly 60 carats worth of diamonds evoke the spray thrown off a crashing wave.  Thin strips of precision-cut diamonds arch up from behind the left ear and fan out in an almost pinkish explosion at the temple. Large round cut diamonds, the largest weighing 8 carats, punctuate the ends of the sparkling arcs. (source)
