The Emerald tiara might no longer be in existence indeed it might have never have been inhereited by the late Queen Mother. We know the late Margaret Greville bought it from Boucheron but we do not know if she did not have it reset/dismantled when she shifted her allegiance to Cartier in the decade before her death...the fact it has not been seen in public or at least documented as having been seen for over 80 years says a great deal and adds to the mystery --Previous Message-- : My apologies Arthur.
