Creation: This is actually two different tiaras. The first one was was made by Garrard in 1896 but it was stolen from them in 1995 where it had been sent for cleaning and repair. Garrard then made a replica of the tiara for Queen Sonja so the replica is the one worn past 1995. Both tiaras could be worn in large or small settings.
Materials: pearls and diamonds

Good thing it was left in England for the WWII years - it might have been confiscated by the Nazis if it had been brought back or attempt at that was made.
