    In the 12 march 1888 edition of Sémaphore, a report by Jules-Charles Roux was published on a ball at the Romanian court. Description of Queen Elisabeth's jewels: 'la reine portait une toilette de satin blanc, grande traîne imperiale en brocart d'argent, corsage décolleté formant cuirsasse, paré de brillants; sur l'épaule, des camélias entremêlés de rubis; au-tour du cou, rivière de solitaires; sur la tête, un superbe diadème, bijou de famille ayant appartenu à la soeur du roi, feu la reine Stéphanie de Portugal, et un grand pouf de plumbes blanches piqué d'un long voile blanc.'

    Does anyone have an idea which superb tiara once owned by Queen Stephanie of Portugal this is?
