    : Re. the Ligne tiara:
    : I don't think that is can be a Merode tiara,
    : because the pic above was taken in 1950 and
    : Princess Hedwige got married later, in 1966.
    : But I think that the tiara could also be
    : heirloom from the de la Tremoilles family.
    : Wasn't Prince Jean Charles de Ligne's mother
    : the heiress of that family? Like so often
    : there is probably no secure source around to
    : help clarify the origin of this tiara. But
    : it is very beautiful! I assume that it is no
    : longer in possession of the Ligne family, or
    : Isabella Rossini wouldn't have worn the
    : aquamarine tiara.

    : Re the de Courval tiara:
    : Is it known which lady wore the Courval
    : tiara in that picture from 1950? The
    : original owner, Viscountess du Courval, died
    : in 1901. Afaik she and her husband had only
    : one daughter, Madeleine, who married
    : Francois de Noaille, Prince de Poix. So it
    : must be one of the Countesses de Noailles,
    : but which one?
