This small fringe tiara was worn by Princess Nadejda's mother, Marie Louise of Borbon-Parme, in one of her oficial photographs in late 1890's as Princess of Bulgaria. I don't know if someone has this picture and can post it here, but I've seen it on a Google search on "marie louise borbon parma bulgaria".
Anyway its lovely to see a tiara worn by three generations of royal ladies. Is it known if it is still in the family to be worn by the next generation?
Thanks
