    From the Library of Congress:

    "The Tacoma Times" (Tacoma, WA; dated October 17, 1911):

    'Emperor Franz Joseph has ordered a $200,000 diamond diadem for Princess Zita.'

    "The Times Dispatch" (Richmond, VA; dated October 22, 1911):

    'Emperor Francis Joseph gave the bride a diamond coronet, arranged in five tiers, each of which can be taken off and worn as a separate ornament. It is surmounted with unusually fine brilliants, and cost something more than $20,000.'
