    Yes, Raine Spencer wore the Honeysuckle Diamond Tiara at least once. Some years ago I saw in an old Hola magazine from the early 1980's a picture of Raine and her husband Earl Spencer leaving for a gala event, she was wearing the honeysuckle tiara (the most recent version of it, as displayed in the Spencer jewels exibition) and the diamond pendants (now hanging from the Spencer diamond riviére) as earrings.

    I have no information on the provenance of the pearl and diamond tiara she is wearing on the picture, but I am sure it can be converted to necklace. Raine wore it as necklace for King Constantine of Greece 50th birthday party along with the Spencer diamond pendants as earrings.
