I have found some reports in the Sunday Times for when Mrs Greville was reported to have worn her emerald tiara.
I will only list a few of the later dates as my intention was to find the latest reports of her wearing the jewel.
Report dated 1 July 1934
Report dated 2 December 1934 at a pre-wedding reception for Princess Marina.
Report dated 28 June 1936 at a dance at Holland House.
Although the report does not specifically say Mrs Greville was wearing the emerald tiara that seems to be what is suggested.
Report dated 21 November 1937. This was for a State Ball in honour of King Leopold of the Belgians. Although the report does not specifically state that she wore a tiara, I think it is safe to assume she would have, but whether that necessarily suggests she wore the emerald tiara is open to question.
At the very least the media confirms that Mrs Greville was wearing the tiara in 1934, and given how the report was phrased for the pre-wedding reception of Princess Marina, I suspect that Mrs Greville may have worn her emerald tiara when she wore the rest of her emerald jewels.
