I think that the oat tiara is quite beautiful. I would have liked to have seen someone actually wearing it, although there may be no photos of that. Two errors in the Astor tiara clip: Nancy Langhorne married Waldorf Astor, 2nd Viscount Astor. William Waldorf Astor was her father-in-law, and he gave her the tiara as a wedding gift in 1906 (he gave his son the completely furnished Clivden estate). Constance Markievicz was the first woman elected to Parliament, but as a member of Sinn Fein she wouldn't swear an oath to uphold the British Empire (never took her seat). Nancy was the first woman seated in Parliament.
Is the person "Greville" connected to Lady Greville who bequeathed her jewelry collection to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen mother? Or am I getting the spelling wrong?
This is confusing, the tiara was sold to the Louvre but the family still had it? Also, as it's been mentioned in the past, you use the word adorn all the time as if it meant wear, and that's not the case.
