The Times described it as
I suspect that this tiara might have been one worn by Queen Victoria herself (long before she had the Oriental circlet made) which she described in her journal as her Indian diadem.
At the time of the Connaught wedding the press did not provide a sketch of this gift; nevertheless, I wonder if the tiara worn by the Duchess in the photo below might have been the gift. I think it fits the description.
What do others think? Could it be a possibility?
