Her tiara and long, wispy tail are among the attributes also present in two unpublished designs for a mermaid jewel by the German goldsmith Reinhold Vasters (German, 1827–1909), now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. The variation in quality and variety of objects made according to Vasters's designs indicate that his visions were likely realized by a fleet of different artisans.
