The auction catalogue states "The tiara's seven main diamonds have been removed and replaced with paste by a previous owner."
It actually sold for almost $70k! Not $60k!
I don't think the tiara has paste diamonds but the seven pearshaped diamonds on top have been replaced by 2 round diamonds instead of each pearshaped one
when the largest diamonds are paste!
I imagine if someone has the money to spend that on paste, they have the money to pay for real diamonds to put back in! Maybe the purchaser will do that.

The Radziwill tiara with removed diamonds was sold 57.000 euros in Chicago . I don't know the estimation price.
