It's very sad indeed to see that the tiara will be sold at auction. If there was any interest on the part of the Danish Royal Family to buy it back, the matter would certainly be dealt with in private... Considering that the red stones are 'only' garnets, but taking into account the royal provenance, I still find the estimate rather high at ca. 170.000 Euro - what do others think? Thank you very much for posting this, Mia!
