This is of course unless the tiara passed to someone who had perhaps prior to 1917 married outside of Russia and was given or inherited the tiara then.
Very interesting provenance beautiful tiara and fetched a very good price.
Thanks Janet! The two tiaras are very similar, but I don't think they are the same. What a good memory you have to spot the similarities!
One thing the tiara which was sold recently suggests is that the Ward tiara may have been made by Cartier. But, of course, similarity in style does not prove the Ward tiara is a Cartier item!
