I suppose hypothetically Begeer could have remodelled an older tiara from the collection, one that once belonged to Queen Sophie. Yes. We simply do not know, yet. But the news that the tiara in it's present shape seems to have been made by Begeer is truly a new find, worth some exitement and it confirms the doubts over the provenance (maker) of at least one tiara always attributed to Jeweller Schurmann in Frankfurt.

: Sorry, folks, but as I have no access to

: Do I understand correctly, that the author

: the archive also confirm that it is from the

: either made the tiara completely new, or
: they altered an existing tiara (eg. from
: Queen Sophie), couldn’t it?
: Could anyone please enlighten me? Thanks in
: advance!
