What a nice find. I wonder if the tiara is still in the original case, and if so why Prince Bernhard would have given a necklace/tiara created by Faraone from Milan. Why not a piece by a Dutch jeweler or one in Paris or London (Cartier?). The website of Faraone has pictures of Queen Marie-José, Maria Callas and Charlotte Casiraghi.
