Exactly. And if I am not mistaken even the Court Jeweller Fred Brom mentioned the Sapphire tiara was from Mellerio.
And it was never officially confirmed by Mellerio until now, which is also quite interesting. Why didn't they just say so at the time of Brus 'discovery' then? I mean if it is not yours, it's not yours!
--Previous Message-- : Oddly enough, it was the website of the Dutch : Royal Family that created the myth that the : sapphire tiara was created by Mellerio. In : the press release about Prince Friso's : wedding in 2004 the information about : Mabel's tiara read as follows: "The : tiara is put together from a large sapphire : tiara created in 1881 by Mellerio dits : Meller in Paris (...). In the separate : existing tiara frame the diamonds were : mounted for the occasion of the marriage of : Prince Friso and Mabel Wisse Smit". : The phrasing is a bit clumsy but the message : is clear, the large sapphire tiara (we know : there only is one!) was made by Mellerio. It : would be interesting to know the records : this information is based on. : : : --Previous Message-- : Not a long time ago I wrote in my column : about : this tiara certainly not being Mellerio... : : : :
