BOUCHERON, A FINE EARLY 20TH CENTURY DIAMOND TIARA, CIRCA 1910
The Parisian jeweller Boucheron has a longstanding reputation of creating some of the most spectacular tiaras of the 20th Century, supplying jewels to royalty and aristocracy across Europe.
This tiara had been in possession of the same British aristocratic family since its acquisition from Boucheron in the early 20th century, purchased by the previous owner’s great-grandfather during one of his frequent trips to Paris from London. Treasured by each generation since, the tiara has been worn at State Openings of Parliament as well as receptions at Buckingham Palace.
