Yes, you are right. I forgot I posted Caroline's picture from Prussia/Isenburg wedding gala here, also with huge, a bit strange necklace.

To me, this wedding tiara that Beatrix and Eilika have been wearing looks more like it has previously been some kind of golden choker converted to a tiara with a few pearls added to the top.

Its one of those tiaras that might be better suited as a wedding tiara with a veil,the diamonds are stunning but after that I'm not a fan either.

It's worth remembering that during the 1800s many tiaras were worn with either veils or a frame of feathers or fabric. The Swedish Royal ladies did so at the Ceremonial Opening of Parliament until the ceremony was abolished in 1974.

Tiara worn by Baroness Emilie von Dornburg, born Hrzic de Topuska, morganatic wife of Prince Heinrich von Hessen und Rhine:

I see it's floral tiara. It does a bit remind me of wedding tiara worn by Princess Yvonne von Hessen, born Countess Szapary, but, of course, these are different lines of the Hessen family.

What happened to this tiara? Has it been seen since anywhere?

I don't think that it has been seen in public since Princess Birgitta wore it in 1967.

The emerald tiara has an interesting provenance, it is supposed that it is an heirloom from Queen Maria II of Portugal. https://www.rct.uk/collection/403691/maria-ii-da-gloria-queen-of-portugal-1819-53

Both Princess Margarethe of Saxony and Prince Friedrich of Hohenzollern were great-grandchildren of Maria II. D. Maria Ana de Braganca had married King Georg I of Saxony and D. Antónia de Braganca had married Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern. But I believe that the tiara had been inherited by D. Maria Ana because it looks like Princess Elisabeth of Thurn und Taxis had worn this tiara on her wedding to Margareta's brother Friedrich Christian. I think that their sibling Princess Maria Alix of Saxony has also worn it on her wedding day, but she married Prince Franz Joseph of Hohenzollern and thus became her sister Margarethe's sister-in-law.
 
Wow, I just never knew the connection. It is very interesting to know the provenance of royal/noble jewels, especially tiaras!

Does anyone know about the tiara that Zita was wearing when she married the Prince of Austria it is a very lovely tiara. I am wondering if the Bourbon-Parma royal family still owns that tiara or was it lost or sold? Thanks in advance.

I think it probably still remains with her on the Basilica of San Evre de Nancy in France, it seems to be the place where her body is resting in peace, and as far as I could read, some relics are with her in this long journey.

Countess Mathilde von Stubenberg, born Baroness von Tinti (1863-1927) in 1905:

She was grandmother of Princess Manni zu Sayn-Witgenstein-Sayn and is wearing some gorgeous jewelry, including pearl tiara and several necklaces.

Those pearls on the tiara are really stunning. It's always nice so see some jewels from the lesser known families. I wonder if this tiara is still in the family, but most likely it's long been gone.

Don't know about that, but if you look at some pictures of Princess Marianne zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn you could see some stunning pearls, such as these huge ones hanging on her ears:

They must worth a fortune. And a picture of some lesser ones, always combined with some big pearl necklace which could also be inheritance:

That bandeau looks like it has a motive of alternating blossoms and leaves, and it would also work as a necklace or even a massive bracelet. But I couldn't find anything about it in my files.

So far, as I can remember, I have seen them only on Marianne, so I assume it was probably a gift from her husband or from her own family, as Mayr von Melnhof's were also rich...

Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn family was very rich due to their large possessions which they had in Russia, Poland etc. so I somehow assume those large pearls were inherited from Sayn family...
