Recently I stumbled upon these pictures of the wedding of Raine McCorquodale (later Mrs. Gerald Legge, Lady Levisham, Countess of Dartmouth/ Countess Spencer/ Comtesse de Chambrun) with Gerald Legge (later Lord Levisham, Earl of Dartmouth) in 1948:

I hadn't seen this tiara before nor was it familiar to me (not even on any other lady of the Dartmouth or McCorquodale/Cartland family). It seems it was worn again here in 1956:
