So for every parure there was a large tiara and smaller diadem?

Do we know what happened to the smaller diadems?

Considering when the items came up for sale they would have been considered to have had some importance provenance and in some cases still very fashionable I wonder if any of them are still around?

Thanks for this Janet, its fascinating, would have been a delight to see these being actually worn.

I found these on Pinterest and although I am certain they are not real, they really do give a flavour of how incredible these jewels were.

What a tragedy!
