    I hope this is not viewed as hijacking. I believe a very simple start can develop.

    Marie Louise wore a wonderful group of tiaras.

    : A fabulous and unique tiara.
    :
    : I never understood how Princess Marie Louise
    : would end up with this massive tiara
    : (including large diamonds). Her husband
    : (Duke Aribert) came from Anhalt, a small
    : German Duchy, and I cannot imagine his
    : family bought this huge tiara. (I have never
    : seen other grand Anhalt jewels).
    :
    : If the dates on the plate posted by Nellie
    : are correct, it may have been made after
    : 1906, when the Princess was no longer
    : married to the Duke (the marriage was
    : annulled in 1900). It is not the kind of
    : gift she is likely to have received from her
    : Schleswig Holstein relatives for an
    : anniversary (they did not have such tiaras
    : themselves). Might she have bought this
    : tiara for herself? Did she even have the
    : funds to buy such a tiara? So many
    : questions...
