I seem to recall the tiara was worn for an event in Sweden or Denmark, though I am unable to find it now. I cannot recall which lady, but it was probably Princess Arthur of Connaught (née Princess Alexandra of Fife). Her husband Prince Arthur of Connaught was the brother-in-law of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden, and thus the uncle of Queen Ingrid of Denmark. It might have been the latter´s wedding to Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark in 1935. Or a birthday celebration for the Swedish King. Not many British royals attended events in those countries, but Lady Patricia Ramsay was the great-aunt of the Swedish King through his Saxe-Coburg mother, and also often attended events in Sweden.
