I think you may be correct there- the tiara in the coronation photo worn by the Duchess of Connaught does seem to have 18 scrolls and the shamrocks could be described as trefoils I suppose. I just feel that a plume centre fits more ith the tiara worn by Helena Victoria at the 1937 coronation. Is there a clearer photo of the wedding present/shamrock tiara? Particularly of the centre? --Previous Message-- : Might be from her Mother: : : : http://www.gogmsite.net/the-bustle-eras-1870-1890/subalbum-luise-margaret-of-/1911-princess-louise-margar.html : Maybe the weding present to Princess : Margaret Louise of Prussia from the Prince : and Princess of Wales, as mentioned at : Ursula´s side: : : http://www.royal-magazin.de/england/connaught/connaught-wedding-bracelet.htm : (scroll down to the middle) : : --Previous Message-- : Lot 65 - quote from auction catalogue : Wednesday, May 15, 1974 : "An important antique diamond tiara, : composed of eighteen graduated ribbon and : collet scrolls intersected by trefoils with : a plumed centre - in case" : : Auction price £12.000 : : No more detail than this - sorry !! : : --Previous Message-- : Laura- do you have access to the auction : details regarding the honeysuckle/scroll : tiara? : : --Previous Message-- : Some stunning Art Deco diamond and cabochon : sapphire pieces (brooches and ring); : brooches with emeralds and diamonds and an : emerald cabochon ring. : : The Duchess of Connaught's magnificent : diamond bow brooch and diamond riviere. : : : : --Previous Message-- : Dear Torkel, thank you for this : investigative : research!
