Anlässlich der Hochzeit 1978 mit Natscha Phillips, kaufte der jetzige Herzog von Westminster, diese prachtvolle Garnitur aus Diamanten und pinkfarbenen Spinellen in Gold und Silber. Die zukünftige Herzogin trug das Diadem an ihrem Hochzeitstag zum Brautschleier. Die Herzogin, mit kaiserlichen Vorfahren wie, Grossfürst Mikhail Mikhailovich und seiner Frau Sophie von Merenberg, Gräfin Torby. Auf dem Bild oben ein rares Bild des jungen Brautpaares, kann man die Tiara erkennen.
Aus Diadem, Kamm, Halsband mit Anhänger und Ohrringe besteht dieses Juwel, über und über üppig besetzt mit Altschliff Diamanten. Die Tiara mit Kaskaden und Bögen über den tropfenförmigen Spinellen abgesetzt mit grossen runden Diamanten, eine spektakuläre Parure ganz nach dem Geschmack seiner ehemaligen Besitzerin, der schönen und glamourösen russischen Prinzessin Katharine Pavlovna Bagration, geb Skavronskaia, Verwandte von Zarin Katharina I. und Erbin von Fürst Potemkin. Sie war mit dem Fürst Peter Ivanovic Bagration verheiratet, ein Nachfahre der Könige von Georgien.
Fossin & Fils ein Vorgänger des Juweliers Chaumet soll die Juwelen-Parure um 1825 gefertigt haben, 1836 taucht sie erstmals in der Juwelen Bestandsliste der Fürstin Bagration auf.

Eine gleissend, glitzerndes Juwel das für einen strahlenden Auftritt sorgt, den ein Jahrhundert später der Kolumnist "Chips" Channon wie folgt über die Gräfin Granard beschrieb: "Lady Granard could scarcely walk for jewels."
