I am posting 3 different magnifications of the image in the hope that someone with good eyes will see things which I cannot. Obviously there were gemstones in the arcs between the pearl motifs, so if this tiara is the one now in the Qatar Museum then it has been altered. I am not sure if there is a pearl on either side of the central diamond in the band -- there may be.
My attention is now on the central pearl as it has a distinct form. Is it the same in all the tiaras? I suspect it might be.
Some more photos for comparison
