FROM THE COLLECTION OF MAMDOUHA AND ELMER HOLMES BOBST
From Sultan or Store, Tiara Can Be Woman's Crowning Glory, Enid Nemy, The New York Times, April 12, 1970.
Elmer Holmes Bobst gifted this tiara to Mamdouha in 1966, as he saw it as the perfect jewel to be worn to the White House at a dinner being held in his honor. According to friends of the Bobsts, Mamdouha wore her finest jewels when invited to events as she viewed this as the ultimate compliment to a host or hostess.
