The Ruby Peacock Tiara
The Ruby Peacock Tiara was made in 1897 by Schürmann, reportedly from pieces from the collections of Sophie of Württemberg, the first wife of King William III of the Netherlands.
The central element of the tiara is detachable and can thus be worn separately.
Queen Wilhelmina gave this tiara to her granddaughter, Princess Irene, and she wore the tiara often. It then disappeared from the stage for a while but perhaps it has now been deposited into the family’s jewel foundation, as it has been making a few appearances.
