The tiara worn by Helia Walker on her wedding day looked familiar to me, and I suddenly remembered an auction at Koller Auctions in Zurich back in 2017.

The pearl and diamond necklace/tiara with matching earrings was made around 1890 and sold for CHF 234 500. The lot included a case signed Catchpole & Williams and a copy of an invoice from Catchpole dated 1961.

If this is not the tiara worn by Helia Walker, it certainly has the same design.
