Thank you so much Erik for the time and care you have put in to writing this account. I appreciate your work very much. But I do need to clarify some points. Do you rule out Massin as both 1881 designer and 1881 maker? The following timeline helps me to organise my thinking on this case. 1867 early design by Massin - in which archive today? 1881 design (name changed to Vita Israels ?) held in Van Kempen & Vos archives today VK&V were court jewellers in 1881 ? or 1928 ? 1881 tiara and bracelets delivered to Dutch court, by ? “the company made more jewels for the Dutch royal court” meaning Massin? 1928 VK&V were commissioned to alter the tiara (source: Royal archives ?) possibly altering gold frame to platinum If Royal archives, do the VK&V archives also include evidence? 2013 alteration to frame and centre-top element --Previous Message-- : Dear fellow posters, : : I made a summary of the documentation in : Rene Brus' book regarding the Dutch sapphire : tiara on my website.
