The fact that the tiara/necklace and the matching earrings were advertised as made by Catchpole & Williams (not only on the auction house's website, but also in the press) seems to suggest though, that Koller had some sort of evidence for the maker and that it was indeed the original case which was included in the sale.
I wondered if Helia's elder sister might have lived in Switzerland, and I don't think you're going off track to suggest that link. Koller is indeed a Swiss firm, based in Zurich.
