As well as the spectacular jewelry display, the exhibition will celebrate sublime feminine power through the outstanding women, empresses, queens and princesses of the European courts. Bern and Vachaudez promises to deliver never before seen jewels to the public including the ethereal flower tiara that once belonged to Edwina Mountbatten, Countess Mountbatten of Burma. That particular piece was created in 1934 and entrusted to Maison Cartier who later sold it to Lady Edwina Mountbatten.
