This tiara is based around an aigrette that is “unusual and very personal in its design.” It is made of platinum, diamonds, and cultured pearls, which form an elegant lily of the valley. The piece bears French hallmarks. The “lily of the valley” piece can be taken apart, and can be worn as a brooch. The tiara come from Countess Gunilla’s own Swedish aristocratic family, rather than from her husband’s family. Most likely from her mother, Märta (Hörke) Wachtmeister af Johannishus, born de Geer af Leufsta (1896-1976) then passed on to her daughter for her first wedding.
