Lady Wolverton - to Beth Posted by Hanna on March 28, 2021, 8:18 am Beth was searching for information on a Boucheron crown worn by lady Wolverton in a thread from 2019: https://mb.boardhost.com/historyroyaljewels/msg/1573206064.html I stumbled upon a reference to this lady while looking through a Sotheby's catalogue from late 2020. It's a necklace, a reworked tiara, which is supposed to be identical to the tiara of lady Wolverton.

Re: Lady Wolverton - to Beth Posted by Beth on March 28, 2021, 6:53 pm, in reply to "Lady Wolverton - to Beth" Thank you so much Hanna!! What you have found is fascinating. I must say that I am surprised that Boucheron would make 2 identical tiaras. On a very quick hunt I found this entry in the online versions of Christie's catalogues. It is from June 1992, but alas there is no image available! But I suspect that this entry refers to the sale of the Wolverton tiara.
