Case in point a tiara made by Cartier for Harry Payne Whitney, presumably for his wife Gertrude Vanderbilt - I presume the stones are emeralds but there was either a duplicate of this tiara or the emeralds could be replaced by pearls as there are pictures of Gertrude's sister Gladys Vanderbilt, Countess Széchenyi wearing a seemingly identical tiara with pearls.
