[The Royal Watcher]

Countess Hemma von Khevenhüller-Metsch wore the Khevenhüller-Metsch Family Tiara to marry Count Vincent von Matuschka at the Karlskirche in Vienna this weekend. It was worn by Countess Melanie von Khevenhüller-Metsch to marry Count Hubertus von Waldburg zu Wolfegg und Waldsee in 1993.

Thanks for the recap of the German Royals. Lucky some are still in the Family. The German Royals are keeping one tiara for the Weddings but a lot of jewels are sold

I was going through Ursula’s website about the Baden royal jewelry and some of her photos of the pieces are quite modern like this one Here

Were those pieces auctioned by the family?

It looks like the important Bavarian ears of wheat tiara from the upcoming Sotheby's auction actually left the Bavarian collection more than half a century or so ago!

Judging by old photos, it seems that the tiara was worn by Princess Gabriele, the daughter of Crown Prince Rupprecht and Princess Antonia of Luxembourg. I've been able to find photo of the late Dowager Duchess of Croy wearing the tiara (or a very, very similar one) over the years: on her wedding day and the wedding ball of Countess Helene zu Törring-Jettenbach and Archduke Ferdinand Karl of Austria.

Don't know if the star tiara and other Bavarian jewels have the same provenance.

Bavarian Lover's Knot Tiara
This is an interesting tiara. At one time it went from Bavaria to be used by the Queen of Greece. Eventually the tiara returned to Bavaria.
