Great to see tiaras these tiaras still in use...

There is also a pic of princess Lily in her gown https://www.instagram.com/p/CdUOHtwKxtC/.
It's lovely to see those jewels worn. I must say that the smaller diamond tiara puzzles me. It has been worn by Lilly's sister at the last Schaumburg wedding, but never have I seen it on any other family member. I'd love to know more about it's history. Is it really a Schaumburg-Lippe tiara?

The Furstenberg tiara, set in gold and silver, went for about 2 million Swiss francs. Therefore, it must have been made with really good quality diamonds and pearls.

Beautiful and unknown tiara at the wedding of Princess Anna von Lobkowitz and Count Albrecht von und zu Eltz gennant Faust von Stromberg, grandson of Princess Marie Charlotte of Bavaria:

Royal Musings: The wedding of Princess Anna Lobkowitz and Count Albrecht von Eltz

Don't know if this tiara is an Eltz or Lobkowitz heirloom. The wedding was held at the bride's home Schloss Maxlrain in Germany.

I am fascinated that Count Albrecht is connected to the Szechenyis.
My mother met Countess Ferdinandine in Washington, D.C.
The interior of the sanctuary of the Catholic church is exceedingly elaborate.
Princess Anna's tiara is a showpiece!

I wonder if it is a historical heirloom of the family or just a borrowed tiara for the wedding?

There are no pictures that I know of, of the groom's closer relatives wearing this, or any tiara. So it's very difficult to say, but imho the bridal tiara does not at all look old. And having lost so much property at the end of WWII, the family probably wasn't able to keep heirloom jewels. But whether borrowed or recently bought is equally difficult to say.

I think it was borrowed. Tiffany’s wasn’t the jeweler German royals and nobles typically bought from. That’s MO.

He’s also a Vanderbilt and second cousin of Anderson Cooper.

Am I missing something? Where does it say Tiffany's?

Did I misread something? I thought the designer was Tiffany’s. Maybe I misread? I don’t know why i saw Tiffany’s.

[Tilia C.]

Well, I didn't find any mention of the tiara or designer, let alone about a jewellery house in that article.

The tiara didn’t come from Sissi’s collection, it’s just a story Mary Lou Vanderbilt Whitney made up.

Too bad this tiara is for sale.

[Susan D]

Maybe they just don't need these tiaras anymore. Apparently, a lot of titled families no longer have tiaras or important collections of silver.
Indeed, I read that the last Duchess of Grafton, Mistress of the Robes to Queen Elizabeth II, used to borrow a tiara from her niece the Countess of Verulam and that this borrowed tiara had come to the Countess through a grandmother who had been the daughter of a tycoon.

Yes and it is the second tiara they have sold since last year. It is unfortunate but hopefully someone who buys it will use it.
