Sometimes laurel looks like pearl diadems. The biggest point is to distinguish the basic type- laurel or diadem. I don&#039;t worry so much about what type of diadem, just the fact that it is diademed. There are some very confusing issues with a lot of variations in the diadem, like the DAFNE series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
