It has since been proven that this tiara was made by Garrard, not Rundell.

If the tiara was left to Princess Victoria (Queen Alex’s second daughter), who never married, then it’s odds on imo that it (if it was entire at that time) ultimately ended up with the Kents, George and Marina, as Prss Victoria was close to them and left them quite a lot of her personal possessions.

As the tiara was very much a mid-Victorian piece (early 1860s) regardless of who made it, and Marina was never seen in it, then it could well have been broken up for either Victoria or Marina and the stones made into fashionable clips, earrings, necklace, bracelets etc in the 1930s. That’s my guess anyway

Quite right. The Hugh Roberts book, The Queen's Diamonds, confirmed that Princess Victoria disposed it off.

That's a fascinating video. Mary must surely have had one of the bigger jewelry collections in history.

That story was quite talked about and Nash and Durand were justifying the theft because the family left the house (the Hesse were forced to leave within four hours).

They were forced to liquidate because the government wouldn’t allow them to keep properties in Turkey so they sold their jewels. The sultan arranged for a sale of some jewels but it was intercepted by a seller who gave the money to the Young Turk movement.

It’s probably dismantled long ago and the pieces sold on the black market. But the tiara was replaced with a new version years ago.

I knew that was Toria. I couldn't figure out why she was wearing her sister's tiara. "Parents' coronation", pretty good excuse. https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/202...l-tiara-2.html

There is also a misidentified photo of Queen Elisabeth of Belgium.

Countess Estelle Bernadotte's pink topaz parure has sadly been stolen in the theft of Norwegian jewels in London in the nineties.

The parure was acquired by King Harald in 1994 from count Folke jr.
