Maridje now I am confused... The Torby rubi tiara pictured was in possession of the Mountbattens, it was worn by lady Penelope as a bridal tiara. It has russian origin from Countess Nadejda of Torby I believe. I think it was put to auction sometime ago, not sure if it was bought back to Russia.
The information you posted I assume it regarded Pss Viggo's kokoshnik tiara .
