Sometime ago I saw a picture of an elderly Marie of Youguslavia with the fringe tiara, I've forgotten about that. It was the only time I saw her with this piece. So she bought it from her aunt Beatrice, Thank you for clearing it out, I knew she had sell it but didn't remember that. I've also seen a portrait and a small picture of a mature Queen Marie of Romania wearing it, perhaps her daughter lent it to her.
