Thanks, Ursula. If that is the tiara which was dismantled for the Queen's engagement ring and bracelet, then there are some significant aquamarines still in the vaults unless they had already been sold. The fact that your source described them as "pale green" gives some credence to the theory that the central stone in the Countess of Wessex's tiara was from this parure. Where does the photo of the necklace in the first link come from? It looks completely different than the one being worn.
