The alleged original owner was Marie Antoinette however like a lot of her alleged jewels I can't seem to find any link. Further it is also said that at one point it belonged to the Spencers.

What I find intriguing is that at the 1959 exibit it seems to have a matching comb of almost the same size.



PS: I seriously dislike the way the jewels have been displayed as it reminds me of the Russian jewel display by the bolsheviks.
