Thomas' find sent me hunting for more images. Most are far too low resolution to see anything much, although knowing the occasion helped me to see more of her other jewels, especially the hair jewel.
Thomas, I would like to do a separate thread to see if we can ascertain if the large diamond brooch is part of the one which belonged to Queen Ena.
There is an article from 2014 on the Order of Splendor site about this tiara. A poster, Margot, said that Point de Vue had had an item on the tiara and that it had been for sale at a place either in Monaco or some where on the French Riviera. See http://orderofsplendor.blogspot.com/2014/01/tiara-thursday-cartier-onyx-tree.html#comment-1193584636
and scroll down for Margot's comments.
Some more images of the occasion when the tiara was worn as a choker.
