Hi Beth, there was Queen Victoria's emerald tiara as designed by Prince Albert. It could have been worn after QV's death by QA. (Of course I'm not suggesting this is the tiara referred to in the DM's story.

For a number of reasons I suspect that the story is just that -- a story, designed to sell newspapers.

But there is a possibility that there is another emerald tiara as I have 2 references to Queen Alexandra wearing an emerald tiara.
