2inballet Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 My dd is competing at the YAGP next month. Her tutu just arrived and now I need a tiara. I would like a Russian style one. Last time I ordered one from a bridal shop and it was on the heavy side. Can anyone tell me of any web sites to look at or anywhere in Manhattan to go to??? Thanks so much. Quote Link to comment
vicarious Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 There are several ebay stores but I think this one has the best prices from what I can tell. http://stores.ebay.com/Alabama-Crowns I think they get them from here http://www.rhinestonejewelry.com/?source=g...word=rhinestone but they have a minimum quantity on most items. This one has tiaras but also a great selection of rhinestone jewelry http://stores.ebay.com/oasis-jewels. Quote Link to comment
Momof3darlings Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 We generally make ours so that they are light yet elaborate. But I've also bought some from Eden Jewels on ebay. Very quick service. vj Quote Link to comment
2inballet Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I would love to make one. Is it very hard? I am pretty creative but I have never made anything like this. Are there books available? How did yu learn? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Jacqueline Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 There's a nice selection at www.ejools.com Quote Link to comment
2inballet Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 What I really need is a ballet tiara. These web sites are for pagents and bridal. The tiara's tend to be heavier and stiff. The ballet ones are lighter and more flexable. At least the Russian one's are. Thanks I will keep looking. Quote Link to comment
LooseLegs2 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 i dont know what style you need but discount dance has a nice one : http://www.discountdance.com/frame_set.php...GIFTACC_p1.html Quote Link to comment
shineon Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 We ordered one on E-bay, from Edan Jewels, for the YAGP. We received it in a timely fashion and it was as nice as the picture. It was not heavy either. Quote Link to comment
Momof3darlings Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I learned by watching a mom at our studio who can just do anything crafty there is to do. There is a kit available at tutu.com for a rhinestone one that is lovely. We've used that one before also but the one I was telling you about earlier was one our headpiece maker saw in a magazine and starting playing around with wire and lace. They came out lovely. vj Quote Link to comment
