Tiara questions... with *flash*

You need a special glue as ordinary glue clouds the stone something like this http://www.e-beads.co.uk/the-benefits-of-resurge-review-and-complaints/ The stones will be foil backed with a point at the back but you need the right size. you may be better takeing one out of each end where you won;t see it and moving them. Also you friend is wrong about the holes they are for hair grips, so they don't have anything in when you buy them

hope that helps

You can see it but to be honest, your hair is going to cover that part and it won't even notice.

I didnt even notice the missing stone. If this happens to my jewellery I usually just put a tiny blob of white nail varnosh where the missing stone went

Ah that's really helpful - thanks so much for the expert advice - I appreciate it! Would never have known that ordinary glue was no good for something like this ? That's a good idea about moving some stones too - I'll have a think about that.

Hi,

You can buy little pots of stones in hobbycraft if you need to replace a couple. it is fiddly but worth it, or move them along. It probably only notices to you and not to other people, so try not to worry.

I agree, you can't see it! And when it's on it won't notice at all. I have a couple missing in my tiara (bought cheap on an ebay shop so I don't care!), luckily they were loose in the box. I'm going to dab some clear nail varnish in the gap on the day before and put them in with that, it only has to hold for one day so that will be absolutely fine!

I am a hairdresser and you can use anything through the loops on the end to secure them. You can either use grips directly through the loops, or wrap ribbon around the loop and the end of the arms to allow the grips to loop through the ribbon aswell, so you can have more to hold it in place.

Gorgeous tiara by the way! xx

I have a few of those tiny stones, not sure whether they will fit but happy to send you a few to try.

I don't come on here that often but email me me through the website if you want me to send them

Ah thank you sooo much everyone for the comments and advice - and that's really kind LilyGrace, I will send an email.

It was reduced to £35 in the bridal shop so it seemed too good an opportunity to miss, as I liked it so much ?

Just wanted to say thank you soo much to LilyGrace for sending me some stones at no charge - that was really kind of you and I appreciate it very much. They have now arrived and I think will do the job for the larger stone which is missing, and as people have said hopefully the tiny ones won't notice. ?
