The Royal magazin posted a link. The tiara is a new versienummer of the Diamond Fushia Tiara of HM Queen Elisabeth.

But on Instagram Russian treasure posted that the tiara could be the one of Baron Vestey.

Quite a mystery, but I agree with the Russian treasure’s theory - it does look like the tiara of Baron Vestey. See also the discussion on the Royal Forums:

If it is Queen Elisabeth of the Belgian tiara why was it not worn before? All her jewels went to her Daughter Queen Marie José and sold afterwards by her Daughter Marie Gabriella.
I am so surprised ?? and don't know if she is the owner or not ?

It is not the same tiara as that of Queen Elisabeth. They don't even really look like one and other.
Queen Elisabeth did not leave all her jewels to Marie-Jose. She gave the art deco bandeau to Astrid. Marie-Jose inherited quite a few pieces from her paternal grandmother the countess of Flanders.

Most if not all of Marie-Jose's Belgian jewels were auctioned off by her daughters.
The Belgian royals did not acquire any of them (though they would have made great options for the Duchess of Brabant).

The Vestey tiara does resemble the one the Duchess wore so it's possible the piece was bought especially for her.

At the very least Elisabeth as Duchess of Brabant now has her own tiara to wear and that is great. Im still hoping her mother also inherited the Spanish Wedding Gift tiara. I'd love to see her with the coronet version of it. Ideally with either pearls or diamonds so she can combine it easier. But the aquamarines and coloured stones look good too. Maybe she could choose to add another colour of jewels to them (Amethysts or pink Topaz to fit with the order of Leopold).

Re: Queen Mathilde Necklace

I thought it looked like Queen Paola's small diamond necklace that she wore as a tiny tiara on a few occasions.
So im hoping that means that particular pieces has gone to Mathilde. It would be right if the Art Deco Bandeau of Queen Elisabeth would go to the Duchess of Brabant but im not sure Qiueen Paola sees it the same way.

Tiara Duchess of Brabant Court Statement

A Dutch Royal Reporter confirmed that the tiara is a gift from her parents for her 18th Birthday. The Piece will stay in the Family says the Palace in a Statement. So we see her often with this great tiara.

The Court did not say anything about it and i don't think we will get it from them. But Evelny, Baroness Vestey wore a tiara who looks like like it and it was worn by a bride of the Vestey Family in the 1990's. So either they sold it or ar there are other tiaras in the same design (like with the Lover's Knot tiara's) and one of them was recently sold.

It seems the Vestey tiara was topped with pearls, and the DoB's is topped with diamonds, but it looks the same design indeed.

Wonderful that the King and Queen bought such a beautiful and imposing tiara for her daughter!

I wonder if Albert and Paola gave her any jewel?
What about the big diamond ring she was wearing in her left hand?

Re: Vestey bride

Since King Albert I and Queen Elisabeth who gave Princess Astrid 3 jewels for the birth of her 3 Children never King Baudouin gave jewels to his Nieces and King Albert Ii and Queen Paola bought a very small tiara for Claire Coombs Wedding to Prince Laurent.
