Now I will put forward a theory regarding the origins of this piece and would like all my esteemed fellow posters to give their opinion regards my theory. I believe the tiara worn by Baroness Bruntisfield is the same as was once owned by Prince Johann George of Saxony who was a younger brother of the last King Frederick Augustus III of Saxony. Here is Princess Johann George wearing this tiara:
This tiara is now owned by the Qatar Museums Authority and is displayed quite regularly across the world:
For some reason this tiara is also referred to as the Hanover Diadem by the Qatar Museums Authority.
Coming back to my reasoning for claiming that they are one and the same tiara as seen on Lady Bruntisfield is the unusual shape of two pearls.....the small pearl on our extreme right as well as the pearl on our right next to the central pearl. This is much more clearly visible in the National Portrait Gallery zoom feature.
Prince Johann George died in 1938 while his wife died in 1947 without any issue. Hence it is perfectly possible that the tiara may have come up for auction or sold via a dealer sometime after 1938 or 1947 by the heirs.
Further more the tiara has been worn in recent memory by Lady Mayoress Blackshaw during the state banquet hosted by the Lord Mayor of London for Vladimir Putin's State Visit to United Kingdom.
