    Thanks everyone. Just as I thought, another beautiful tiara lost to history.

    : I agree with Cynthia. There is no publicly
    : known portrait of the Marchioness of
    : Carisbrooke with this fringe. The last known
    : wearer of it was Princess Beatrice.

    : Her daughter Ena was pictured with countless
    : different tiaras, but not with this one.
    : Besides, she sold much jewellery during her
    : exile. If she inherited this one, it must
    : have been sold or it would already have been
    : seen on her descendants.

    : The strawberry leaf tiara was sold as well.
    : So there is not much hope that this tiara is
    : still with Beatrice's descendents.
