The art deco tiara was made in the early twentieth century for Queen Elisabeth of the Belgians, often called "The Red Queen" because of her communist sympathies. Elisabeth married the future King Albert I of the Belgians in 1900; she is the grandmother of the current king, Albert II, and the great-grandmother of Prince Philippe.
