it is not the Christie´s auction on 9th of November but Sotheby´s "Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels: Part I" on 10th of November. While
Christie´s offers Marie Antoinette´s Bracelets and the Ears of Wheats Tiara of the Bonaparte sister, Sotheby´s has the Sapphire Tiara of Koch for sale.
Other jewels of the Battenberg family I couldn´t find.

Will all these jewels we spoke about be sold on that Auction ? Previous Message
Taadaaa! Yes, thank you so much, Janet, for your reply. And the information on Pablo Milstein´s instagram. I thought it must be german family, as Koch´s work seems to have found buyers mainly in Germany.
And Milstein´s post of Johanna Loisinger, solved the riddle of an discussion at RJWMB in April about the Battenberg Jewels. The pictures of Johanna Loisinger, Countess of Hartenau, raised the question about her tiara(s) and if it might be one piece with additions.

Question solved. It is one tiara, its made by Koch, and you can buy it in November. Previous Message

and your query about which family it belonged to, just in case you miss it, Pablo Milstein has posted on his Instagram today that shows it comes from Battenberg family! Link to his profile -

Probably wishful thinking but would be a lovely tiara for the Princess of Asturias, a Battenberg descendant.
