I am still looking for evidence to prove that the Marcos tiara is the Beaumont tiara. It might be, but so far I haven't seen convincing proof. What I would like to see is some form of evidence of a sale or auction.
Even, if Imelda Marcos liked a historic jewel, I doubt if she would have purchased something without proof of provenance -- but I could be very much mistaken. Perhaps, if ever the government goes ahead with a sale, information will be available. I hope so!
The other aspect of the pearls which takes my interest is that these are drilled pearls and, from what I can see from the larger photos, they are directly attached to the diamonds below. Obviously, Mrs Marcos could have had alterations made but, if so, I wonder why she would have chosen drilled pearls? This is a mystery which I think will keep us hunting for information for a while.
