Gold Tiara at Bentley and Skinner Posted by Dave on March 29, 2021, 8:34 am The below tiara which is now in the keep of the Jewel house Bentley and Skinner is said to be possibly from the collection of Empress Eugenie of France but was sold on her exile to the UK to fund her lifestyle. So there is also plenty of jewels in the vaults of the jewel houses of which are not made public knowledge. I was also bowled by the other head pieces in this company's keep. https://www.bentley-skinner.co.uk/london/jewellery/images/55264-an-archaeological-revival-coral-and-gold-spartan-diadem-18-500x500.jpg Regards, Dave.

Re: Gold Tiara at Bentley and Skinner Posted by Beth on March 30, 2021, 5:55 pm, in reply to "Gold Tiara at Bentley and Skinner" A very interesting find Dave. Many thanks for posting about it. Bentley and Skinner made it clear that the only evidence for this supposed provenance is "family tradition".
