Thank you for re-posting these pictures, Nellie. I still donīt understand how Princess Marie Louise came to own such a major tiara. Her husbandīs family wasnīt that rich, and probably would have kept the jewels from their marriage after the divorce. I cannot see her own mother buying her such a tiara for their wedding, nor any of the other relatives. Has anything ever been stated about the provenance this tiara? --Previous Message-- : Marie Louise's tiara has always struck me as : one of those tiaras that looks much better : worn rather than pictured on its own -- much : like The Queen's Burmese Ruby Tiara. : : --Previous Message-- : : Thank you for another opportunity to post : these pics. : : : : : : : part of --Previous Message-- : Lovely to see Pss Marie Louise with one of : my favourite tiaras, the massive and : impressing indian tiara with diamonds pearls : and saphires.
