I suspect it might have been the tiara sold at Sotheby's.
On my very quick search on the newspapers today I could not find an image of Viscountess Clive, later Mrs Derek Schreider, wearing the tiara.
The only image of her with a tiara which I found was from the Opening of Parliament in 1934 which she attended with her mother, Lady Rayleigh.
Her daughter, Baroness Darcy de Knayth in her own right, seems to have worn yet another jewel at her wedding, although the only image I found is so blurry that it is almost impossible to gauge what it looked like.
Davina Herbert, Baroness Darcy de Knayth in 1960.
Davina Herbert had come into her full inheritance on her 21st birthday (not long before her marriage) so this may have been a Herbert/Powis jewel or one belonging to her mother.
