If I might opine here...I think that the confusion may stem from the interchangeable centre. I suspect that one of Dowager Empress Marie's sapphire brooches could be used in the tiara, leading to a confusion that the entire tiara was hers, not merely a particular centrepiece. --Previous Message-- : Thank you for posting the panel Nellie.
