I fear that piece no longer exists. The diamond and diamond and saphire earrings Juliana gave to her daughters as well as the smaller saphire and diamond brooch and bracelet Margiet wears cannot have been made from just the tiara. I think the tiara and the necklace were both broken up to create these smaller pieces leaving only the two bracelets. --Previous Message-- : You mean the diadem haircomb which was not : seen for 100 years?
