Both the Vladimir Tiara and this Greek tiara are not the same, but a lot similar to each other, that is all. Yes, I also do think the middle circle of the Greek tiara would show a diamond. I think maybe that Greek tiara had alternate pearls and diamonds inside each circle. Too bad it's not in color or else we would be able to see what they were.
Glad you and Mauriz enjoyed seeing these newspaper pictures. Happy New Year to you and all others, too!
