: Yes. The tiara exists, it is featured in Munn.
:
: Queen Victoria also wears it in the
: Winterhalter Painting of the Royal Family in
: 1846, with cabochon-emerald chandelier
: earrings and some large cabochon brooches.
:
: I know that it was worn by one of QVs
: decedents to the 1960 State Opening of
: Parliament, whom many believed to the one of
: the Fife Family (which would explain its
: decent from Queen Victoria, to Queen
: Alexandra, to Princess Louise etc...)
: I however, cannot find this picture of it
: being worn in 1960, to see whether or not
: they are also wearing this large necklace
: and earrings. Which have now also left the
: main family line.

: The tiara still exists I belive among QV
: descendants. In another painting of QV, she
: wore some different earrings and broches
: with this tiara. Haven't seen them either.

: Hunting for an image on the Royal Collection
: Website, I stumbled across this painting
: that depicts some of Queen Victoria's very
: impressive Emerald Parure.
:
: None of which is listed in the 1896
: Inventory of her Jewels, which indicates
: that it must have been dispersed of to one
: of her relations prior to that occasion.

: Does anyone have a picture of the tiara
: being worn at the State Opening of
: Parliament in the 1960s, to see whether or
: not they are also wearing this very
