"Thirty possible diadems" sounds like an awful lot. I can not imagine that. Empty frames? The diadem from the 1901 Wedding Gift Parure was broken up to make personal bijoux for the four Princesses. Back then the goldsmith could keep the material from the (large!) frame as a payment. Somewhere I can not match that with the many (empty) frames in the collection.
