Edited by Nellie on April 19, 2025, 1:55 am Collectissim seems to be the source for the TikTok article - link, then scroll down, but no source given for their assertion
It seems the only area of dispute is the date of origin and consequently who commissioned this tiara.
The maker Bolin is not in dispute.
I will edit here as I find all dates and give the original or most recent sources as far as I can detect.
1843 TikTok ; Collectissim website
c1874 Roberts; and Royal Collection website
1874 Papi
c1890 Field; Bury
