The Bessborough Diamond Tiara

History of The Bessborough Diamond Tiara

The platinum tiara was given from Vere Brabazon Ponsonby, 9th Earl of Bessborough 1880-1956 to his wife, Roberte Countess of Bessborough née Poupart de Neuflize (1892 – 1979) and was also a present from his colleagues from De Beers. The marquise-shaped diamond was offered to the Earl, in 1931, as a gift by the De Beers diamond company, when he left his position of director.
