This balanced tiara, made of honeysuckle motifs in diamonds, silver, and gold, dates to the nineteenth century. It was apparently a wedding gift to Princess Marie Josepha of Liechtenstein from her new husband, Prince Ferdinand Bonaventura, the 7th Prince Kinsky of Wchinitz and Tettau, in 1870. Today, it has returned to the main line of the princely family, and it’s worn occasionally by Hereditary Princess Sophie.
