[Important edit: the tiara has been altered since that wedding version and because the lower central element here does not match the one in the HFJCMB first pic I wonder if that pic and story relate to the work for the later alteration of the tiara rather than to the making of the wedding version.]
So I'm now posting from my notes out of the past, the following posted by Jinja c2009, which would seem to support my edit.
According to Royalty magazine vol.16 no.1 p.40 (there is no mention of an author of this article), "Sophie wore a diamond tiara from the Queen's private collection, consisting of three open-work scroll motifs, designed and remodelled by the Crown Jeweller, David Thomas, at Asprey and Garrard."
According to Judy Wade in an article for Hello! magazine, June 29, 1999 issue, no.556 p.60, "Her 'something borrowed' was the diamond tiara with three open-work scroll motifs, designed by court jeweller David Thomas at Asprey & Garrard, which was lent by the Queen from her private collection."
