Jewel 103 is a tiara made of c. 1900 top hat silk, brass, silver, gold, rock crystal, 1920s habille helmet shell cameos, pearl, diamond, cultured pearl, iron, velvet, satin, and silk floss.

This tiara features helmet shell cameos wearing jewelry. The term is habille, dressed cameo. This refers to cameo jewelry where the figures are adorned with miniature diamond pendants or other jewels. The rock crystal buttons would have been fancy dress vest buttons. The large cultured pearls are salvaged from a contemporary necklace.
