Forgive me if I have missed an important posting but how did Mellerio become attached to this tiara? Or maybe it is not known how? [Like the "Rundell".] --Previous Message-- : Good question! I also find this very odd. : Perhaps because they were now : "the" Court Jeweller they thought : they could keep it on record... or perhaps : it was just plain negligence. : : If the Dutch Court doesn't even seem to know : that one of the most important pieces in the : jewel collection doesn't come from Mellerio, : nothing would suprise me at this point. : : : : --Previous Message-- : What I don't understand: the Van Kempen : company altered/restored the tiara in 1928. : Therefore they used the original design. Did : they get the design from the royal archives? : If yes: shouldn't they have returned it in : 1928? Or now?
