Discover the serendipitous coincidence that led this exquisite tiara to Sotheby’s. Attributed to one of the most renowned and celebrated jewellers in history, Fabergé, this piece was a wedding gift to Crown Princess Cecilie of Prussia. Daniela Mascetti, Sotheby’s Chairman for Jewellery, first came across the tiara when she saw a portrait of Princess Cecilie hanging in a castle while on holiday. A few months later, she was sent a photo of the real thing. This stunning tiara is now a highlight of our upcoming sale, Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels (14 May | Geneva). Click here to watch
