There are some pictures in the newspapers which I found in the Library of Congress collection.
From the 'The Sun and the New York Herald' (NYC, NY) dated February 22, 1920:
This tiara of Princess Christopher of Greece (formerly Nancy Stewart who was previously Mrs. William B. Leeds and then became Princess Anastasia of Greece) looks a lot like Britain's Grand Duchess Vladimir Tiara in design. Her husband, Prince Christopher of Greece (shown on the right here in photo) was a brother of the King of Greece. The newspaper said that the princess bought from a French syndicate this pearl necklace for nearly $250,000 (USD).
From 'The Day Book' (Chicago, Illinois) dated November 20, 1916:
Could you please identify this diamond and pearl tiara of Queen Maud of Norway?
From the "El Paso Herald" (El Paso, TX)dated October 13, 1917:
This was Princess Arthur of Connaught (Duchess of Fife). The "tiara" she wore looks a lot like the Cambridge emerald and diamond choker (the one Queen Mary and Princess Diana wore at various times). Was it? Or another emerald and diamond choker or something else entirely?
From the 'New York Tribune' (NYC, NY) dated May 28, 1922:
This picture was taken while King George V and Queen Mary of Great Britain were on a state visit to Belgium (and they also paid a visit to northern France during this period). Queen Elisabeth of Belgium sat next to Queen Mary here in the picture. Queen Mary was wearing the diamond & emerald earrings and the diamond/emerald cluster & emerald pendant (the one her granddaughter wore at various times). I think she also had some type of jewels on her hat.
From the "Omaha Daily Bee" (Omaha, NE) dated December 5, 1915:
Infanta Eulalia of Spain wore this magnificent set of jewels! A tiara, choker, huge necklace and a long, single strand of pearls. Anyone care to identify what they were and whether they are still in some royal possession?
