It looks like some of the effective, but lower quality Indian-made items that show up on Ebay in antique-style settings, sometimes even open replicas of rather well-known tiaras and so forth. There is no false claim about them, just that they are what they are. Someone could purchase and resell them as something else, obviously. Anyhow, the pieces remind me of the workmanship and quality of stones to be found in such Indian-made items. Really though, it is quite attractive, but I would doubt if the value would equal the price paid.
The link I have provided looks vaguely like one of our favourite, well-known tiaras and is an example of what I have stated above.
