Actually, there were 28 tiaras. There was the new tiara of diamonds and aquamarines designed by Steltman and on display in the stand of Steltman Jewelers. A picture was posted here before. There was one in the stand of Fabery de Jong Antique Jewellery created by Koch, ca. 1905. It very much resembeled the Koch tiara owned by Queen Sofia which was the wedding gift of Wilhelm II to his daughter Viktoria Luise. It was bought by someone from Japan on the opening day.(Albion Art in Tokyo perhaps?). And there was a third tiara which I did not see good enough. A sort of golden bandeau which was bought by the Rijksmuseum on the day of the opening.
