One of the more interesting connections is about this Amethyst/Topaz and Diamond Floral Tiara which was worn by Princess Margarita at the Wedding Ball of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria and Countess Helen zu Toerring-Jettenbach in 1956, and seems to be the same tiara worn more recently by her granddaughter, Princess Xenia of Hohenlohe-Langenburg at her Wedding in 2005.
While the 'Leaf Coronet' is interesting, I'm more intrigued by the the diamond necklace Princess Margarita wore at the Wedding Ball of Prince Juan Carlos of Spain and Princess Sophia of Greece in 1962. You can see the imprint of the necklace in this jewel case that still belongs to the family, though both of them could be the jewels either lost during a fire at Schloss Langenburg in 1963, or sold soon after!
