Thank you Scarlett. This tiara was discussed a while ago, everybody assumed this was a pearl tiara. Has there been a more recent thread with new information? Link to previous thread:
--Previous Message-- : The turquoise tiara I'm referring to belonged : to Pss Marie Louise. It can be seen in one : of Nellie's posts. In the top row of : photos, it is three to the right. : Hope this helps. : : --Previous Message-- : : The turquoise tiara you refer to. To whom : did it belong? : Marie-Louise or her Mother? Do you have a : photo? : : Regards : : : --Previous Message-- : I haven't read her biography for a while, : but : I don't recall her mentioning her jewels in : it. I've always wondered what happened to : her turquoise tiara. She had some beautiful : jewels, indeed! : : --Previous Message-- : It is Indian in style, could it be a gift : from : the Indian princes or a former Viceroy to : either princess Helena or Marie-Louise? : : : --Previous Message-- : : Agreed. But just which one would have given : her that tiara? : : : --Previous Message-- : Princess Marie Louise maybe was not a very : prominent royal, she was very connected of : course. Her mother was a Princess of the : United Kingdom, her uncle Edward VII was : King of the United Kingdom, her cousin : George V was King of the United Kingdom, the : German Emperor Wilhelm II was her cousin, : etc. In these days she would have been : considered 'very royal' compared with : today's royal pedigrees. : : I think the answer for the surprisingly rich : collection of jewels lies in Marie Louise's : many royal connections. : : : : : : : : : : : : :
