Well we do know one thing: the drop shaped diamond set in the front of the Van Kempen tiara ended up in the same place in the new tiara by Schurmann.

: Queen Emma gave several of the House
: diamonds to Schurmann for the new grand

: 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.
