Status now we know:
Around 1900:
Empress Alexandra received an aquamarine tiara by Koch/Kreuder. There is no indication that it was a single piece. Other tiaras of this style were made with different gems. (Ursula´s rechearch)
Late 1920th:
It was bought by Warski in the late 1920s and offered in Warski shop until 1927-29. (Ursula)
Late 1930
Lady Mary Walker wore an aquamarine tiara of the same design with matching necklace and earrings. (Beth)
1982
an aquamarine tiara appeared in an auction in St. Moritz together with a necklace and earrings. Necklace and earrings were later additions. (Ursula)
2014
an aquamarine tiara was sold in a private auction (Ursula)
2017
an aquamarine tiara was exhibited by Christies, London (Ursula)
2017
Astrid Bernadotte wore a tiara of same design at her wedding reception. (From my point of view not a necklace because of the position of the small diamonds)
2020
Albion Art Institute presents an aquamarine tiara of same design on the Homepage as the one of Empress Alexandra.
Do you agree?
If hypothetically this all has been the same jewel there still are a lot of questions.
