    : Sotheby's auctioned off, on 11th November, a
    : tiara made of large pear-shaped upright
    : pearls mounted on on a bandeau of diamond
    : stars. This tiara belonged to the Viscounts
    : de Courval:

    :
    : On their website (link above), Sotheby's
    : published a photographic portrait of three
    : aristocratic ladies wearing tiaras, dated
    : 1950 and entitled "Les Trois
    : Diadèmes"/"The Three Tiaras",
    : by French photographer Robert Doisneau. The
    : lady in the middle wears the Courval pearl
    : and diamond tiara, which gives us a good
    : idea of how this tiara looks when it is
    : worn.
    :
    : But I have also been intrigued by the tiara
    : worn by the lady on the left: I am sure I
    : have already seen this tiara, but I do not
    : remember where. Does anyone know which tiara
    : it is, and who is the lady wearing it?
    :
    : Thanks in advance!

    I must say, the placement of the two clips (I don't the correct term) on the front of the lady's dress is unintentionally funny. Or not. Just a thought.
