Thank you very much Maria Olivia, for the trouble you took on translating it.
My initial question refered to the tiara being mencioned as having belonged to Empress Josephine. If it was made by Faberge in 1895 it could not have belonged to the Empress because she was long dead by then, however the jewel could have been remodeled or stones from the Empress been used in the tiara... Your explanation made it clear, thanks again.
