Congratulations on having such a keen eye Vincent. After looking at modern photos of this jewel, I agree that the sketch of the tiara given by the Rothschild brothers to Queen Maud shows what we now call her Vifte tiara. Obviously this was not an eighteenth birthday present from Queen Victoria. Some history now needs to be re-written. Thank you so much for posting the images Dawn.
