I've been thinking about this tiara. I used to think she wore the ruby parure just with the diamond brooch, but i don't know if that just was my assumption or because i've actually seen other photo's of the event with a clear view of her tiara.
The diamond setting of saphire parure doesn't work and the floral tiara with or without the stars would look different also. It might be the top part of the Van Kempen parure possibly with diamond necklace that became the rose cut bandeau attached to it. The diamond roses are not very big and don't fit the shape of the picture well.
