How lucky you are to have seen the Dufferin and Ava tiara in reality. I have seen two videos where it glitters. That surprised me as, in photos, the sparkle is not obvious.
I wonder if the tiara will eventually be given to the nation in lieu of inheritance taxes, now that there is no heir to the title? I am always impressed when private owners of such valuable jewels allow museums to display their jewels on a long term basis -- which the Dufferin and Ava shamrock tiara appears to be.
I have some queries about the Marlborough tiara, as well as the Sutherland one. Perhaps board members can discuss these at a later stage.
