i thought it would be bigger [SEP] i was going to wear this in my wedding but it is so much smaller than i wanted now i might just wear it at my reception instead it came in a box but the highest point of the tiara punctured the box i had to pull out a tape measure and it does measure inches from the base to the highest point it just does not seem like it i wore it on my honeymoon cruise and everyone kept assuming it was my birthday
