With her is Countess Estelle Bernadotte af Wisborg,also wearing her tiara.

Marie Elisabeth's father Viktor was German ambassador in Sweden,while her mother was Gisela,Countess zu Solms-Wildenfels.

In this pic you can see her kokoshnik better. It's from the wedding of Princess Christina and Tord Magnusson. Princess Marie is sitting on the right behind Princess Benedikte, behind her you can even make out Countess Estelle's tiara. I don't know anything else about it.

Interesting Tilia, difficult to see the tiaras of the minor royals sitting behind x and y.
But you found it out. Are they more black and white pictures of Princess Cristina's wedding. Great Norvegian tiara !

Did you mean the meander tiara of Grand Duchess Marie Luise?
Juwelen und Schmuck des Markgräflichen Hauses Baden

Seegerpress has two pics of Princess Marianne with it. The first one might be from their pre-wedding ball.

The second is dated by the agency as 1997. Which event could that be?

So there is a chance that the meander tiara is still in the family. Maybe it will be seen at the weddings of the children of Prince Ludwig and Princess Marianne?

I think the second pic could be from the 1993 pre-Weddiog ball of Duke Friedrich of württemberg. There many guests picutred on the arrival.
And the meander tiara was once owned by Prince Ludwig's grandmother Princess Marie Louise, née Princess of Hannover

Not flattering tiara to wore anybody!
 
Oh that is unfortunate...perhaps that one should be re-purposed.

It depends how it is worn. In the picture of Princess Theodora of Grèce and Baden is is nice with more full hair. Beautiful lady, Duke's of Edinburgh sister. It is very funny she seems from another era but her brother is still so actual.

Very nice jewels(tiara and necklaces) of Countess Marie von Quadt zy Wykradt und Isny,later Countess von Tattenbach:



Painted by Tini Ruprecht in 1908.
 
We have seen the Jewels of the Sayn Wittgenstein Berleburg as well as the Sayn Wittgenstein's but does anyone have a photo of the HSH princely house of Sayn Wittgenstein Hohenstein's tiaras and jewels? I have seen Botho's wife but not Bernhart's former wife Katharina or his mother or sister(s) in family tiaras and jewels.

Not a lot of them exist on the web,if any...

Here is Princess Johanna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein wearing a tiara on her marriage to Count Axel Douglas.

And here is a wedding picture of Princess Jutta zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein wearing "something" on her head on her marriage to Count Maximilian von Korff-Schmising-Kerssenbrock.
 
I agree with Marc that Princess Jutta is wearing 'something', but probably not a tiara.

As for the tiara of of Princess Johanna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein I am convinced that it is the same Douglas jewel that was also worn by:

Countess Elisabeth Douglas at her wedding to Prince Max of Bavaria

AD Walburga at her wedding to Count Archibald Douglas
This jewel reminds me of the wedding crowns which are traditionally worn in Sweden. Since the family is from Sweden I believe that this is their traditional wedding crown.

I don't know of any other pic of a potential Hohenstein tiara.

I agree with you on this.This Douglas tiara is a family heirloom which was made(as I think I remember) of crystal,not of diamonds.

Princess Katalin zu Windisch-Graetz,born Baroness Hatvany de Hatvan wearing a tiara:

The picture was taken during Viennese ball.

I wonder what jewels there still are in the main line of the Windisch-Graetz. (Princess Katalin has married into a younger branch)

Did Princess Maximiliane wear a tiara when she married Prince Heinrich von Fürstenberg?

Alexandra,Prinzessin zu Fürstenberg wearing huge peridot necklace:

Btw,for those who didn't know,she is sister of Crown Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece.

Phantastic necklace! I haven't seen it before.

I think it is the Waldburg Zeil tiara which was worn by her daughters at their Wedding days and also a few times by then Hereditary Countess Mathilde
Click to expand...

Any pictures maybe?
 
I think it's the same as the tiara Hereditary Countess Mathilde von Waldburg-Zeil at pre-wedding of Duchess Marie Caroline in Bavaria and Duke Philipp of Württemberg.

And maybe Maria Victoria de Verduga also wore it when she married Count Karl von Waldburg-Zeil in 1965. It is difficult to see, but there seems to be the same sapphire (?) in it.

The latter is a sister-in-law of Princess Gabriella. So if it is the same tiara, it must be of Waldburg origin.
 
:previous: They sold a stunning amethyst necklace at the same auction. So the 'ugliness' can't have been a reason for the sale.

It might not be the most successful tiara design, but imo it was better than the whimsical (borrowed?) tiaras Princess Ursula wore at the last two Swedish weddings. And the sunburst tiara has a wonderful historic background, going back to Infanta Beatriz. You don't sell such heirlooms unless you in need of money.
