There's a thread on the jewels of the Duchess of Alba ,perhaps we could merge the 2?

Yes, that must be the same tiara. Anfortunately, it was auctioned by Sotheby's some years ago. But I couldn't find the exact date of the sale.The late Duchess of Medinaceli wearing the same tiara as above.

The fact that there is now a new duke of Medinaceli, Marco of Hohenlohe-Langenburg y Medina, inspired me to look again into their family tiaras.
On the Foro Dinastias I found this picture of a bride with what looked like the tiara of the late Duchess of Medinaceli. http://postimg.org/image/97xy1sgif/
The text said that it was Flavia of Hohenlohe y Medina, sister of Marco of Hohenlohe.
But I always thought that this was a wedding pic of Flavia: http://postimg.org/image/o6s0sdrgt/
Can anyone here identify these two ladies? Which one is the real Flavia? And might the other bride be Sandra Schmidt-Polex, ex-wife of the new duke of Medinaceli?
This tiara was auctioned by Sotherby’s in 2011: http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2011/fine-jewels/lot.287.htmlThe late Duchess of Medinaceli wearing the same tiara as above.

I don't like the design of this tiara.

I love this tiara. It's very regal and beautiful.
Very beautiful and hope to see it again next week at the wedding of the future Duke of Alba. unfortunately it was never worn by a member of the spanish Royal Family therefore i have moved it to the right Thread.
