One of the reviews of Assouline's coffee-table-book gives the Chaumet Collection Paris credit for the photo, so I guess it's not completely impossible that we might see it one day in an exhibition or perhaps even worn for a promotional photo.
French magazine "Les Modes" had a report about the wedding reception at the baroness de Sellière's mansion in its February 1904 number. The article lists some of the wedding presents ("les splendides cadeaux"), but doesn't mention the tiara. The photo of the bride bears an uncanny resemblance to the sketch in the Bisbee Daily Review.
