Some information about the tiara, courtesy of Tatler magazine:

“The origins of the pearl and diamond jewels, which started life as a corsage brooch, are not completely clear. It’s thought that they stem from the reign of Frederick the Great in Prussia, but the story really starts when the brooch made its way to Princess Louise of Prussia, Grand Duchess of Baden, around 1913. The Grand Duchess bequeathed her corsage to her daughter, Queen Victoria of Sweden, and it was eventually inherited by the future Queen Ingrid of Denmark.”

“It wasn’t until Queen Ingrid’s daughter, the then Princess Anne-Marie, was looking forward to her 18th birthday (and her wedding to King Constnatine of Greece in 1964) that the corsage was crafted into a tiara. Queen Ingrid gifted this new creation to Anne-Marie, just days after her 18th birthday.”
