--Previous Message-- : Just found a lovely photo of Evelyn, Duchess : of Devonshire, dated 1917, wearing a tiara : I've never seen before. Does anyone have any : more recent, and clearer photos?

A lovely photograph indeed, Cerys. I haven't seen before this tiara neither, but might it be a combination of the Devonshire Renaissance tiara and the necklace from the same parure? I think so, because the base of the tiara (frame) and the single elements seem to fit in style and shape... It's just a guess.
Edit: I looked at your photograph on my desktop's bigger screen and am no longer assuming that this tiara is a composition of the Devonshire parure by Hancock... A puzzle
