I thought Marie-Jose inherited the pearl tiara from her grandmother Marie, countess of Flanders who had inherited it from her first cousin Carola Wasa Queen of Saxony. Both were through their mothers granddaughters of Stephanie de Beauharnais, Grand Duchess of Baden who was the original owner of the tiara.

Queen Elisabeth of the Belgians with her daughter, Princess Marie Jose, and her daughter-in-law, Princess Astrid, Duchess of Brabant at the Bal de la Grande Harmonie, 1927.
The three women were in their evening wear and tiaras on top of their head. Queen Elisabeth (center) wore her Diamond Cartier Bandeau. Princess Astrid (left) wore the full version of the Nine Province Tiara, a wedding gift from the people of Belgium. Princess Marie-Jose (right) wore a diamond and pearl tiara inherited from her grand aunt, Empress Charlotte of Mexico, born Princess Charlotte of Belgium.
