    : Hi Cerys
    :
    : The very last sentence at Ursula's site
    : explains what happened to the central
    : element of the tiara. The fate of the
    : remainder of the tiara is unknown.
    :
    : "In 1966, the central element was sold
    : at Christie's with the brooch fitting
    : detachable so it could be worn as a pendant.
    : It sold for £5000."

    : Does anyone know, or have pictorial evidence
    : of, the Princess Royal ever having worn the
    : Emerald VAD tiara she was given at the time
    : of her wedding in February 1922? I've seen
    : the photos on Ursula's site of that tiara
    : (see link), but it seems to have vanished
    : without a trace. Did she sell it, or pass it
    : onto anyone?
    : Cheers, Cerys
