The toppart of the Van Kempen tiara was in an exhibition and is also depicted on some photographs of the red velvet bodice and courttrain of Queen Emma still in the Royal House Archives. I don't remember in what exhibition i saw it. I think it was at 't Loo but im not sure. Queen Emma gave several of the House diamonds to Schurmann for the new grand parure. That the necklace has been dismantled is clear. Where some of the other grand diamonds on top of Stuart tiara came from i don't know. I think it's unlikely that the Rundell part of the tiara survived. There are a lot of diamonds in the new parure and not all can easily be traced. I fear the laurel parts were used as well. That would also explain Juliana and Bernhard buying the Laurel tiara for Beatrix. Had a laurel tiara existed in their collection they could have given her that one. As part of the House diamonds it would have been at Juliana's and not Wilhelmina's disposal. --Previous Message-- : Thank you for your explanation, I let myself : surprise by HM.
