--Previous Message-- : 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: : : http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2014/magnificent-jewels-and-noble-jewels-ge1505/lot.500.html : : 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.
