The Pearl Poiré tiara belongs to the Danish royal family and made its way from Prussia and the Netherlands.
The tiara was a wedding gift to Princess Louise of Prussia when she married Prince Frederick of the Netherlands in 1825. The tiara was thus likely made in Germany, and it was accompanied by a diamond brooch with five pearl pendants.
Princess Louise’s namesake daughter, Princess Louise of the Netherlands, married the future King Charles XV & IV of Sweden and Norway in 1850, and she inherited her mother’s tiara in 1870. She never got to wear it, as she died shortly thereafter. The tiara was left to her only surviving child, yet another Louise. This Louise married the future King Frederick VIII of Denmark in 1869.
Since then, the tiara has remained in Denmark as the last Louise placed in the Danish Royal Property Trust. The Pearl Poiré tiara is generally only worn by the Queen of Denmark.1
