Does the Central Bank of the Philippines still have the 1841 Diamond and Pearl Kokoshnik Tiara of Empress Alexandra, the wife of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia?

I have absolutely no idea as to the answer to your question but my goodness, that is absolutely lovely. I'd love to see that worn by the Princess of Wales or Princess Madeleine. Maybe even one of the younger princesses in line for a throne. Ingrid-Alexandra would be stunning in this.

It did belong to Imelda Marcos but was confiscated by the state after the Marcos were exiled.

However this blog piece is from 2021 and doesn’t mention Imelda Marcos or how this magnificent piece got into anyone’s hands after about 1922 when it was displayed by the Bolsheviks.

The tiara held in the Philippines is obviously not the piece made in 1841.

Does anyone know what this tiara is that appeared in a documentary about the jewels of the Danish royal family?

It is Queen Alexandrine's Russian Sapphire Tiara
 
Sadly no. It has been sold and at some point entered the Albion Art Institute's collection.
But the good news is that it still exists and will be featured in a book on the collection, as revealed by Vincent Meylan

Its sad that it was sold off as it was a majestic looking tiara!

Strange the Link doesn't work for me. Had already noticed that the Instagram from Vincent Meylan doesn't work for me.

So the Bulgarian royal family must have sold all the tiaras they had. It's a shame.
 
It seems they have sold it all, apart from some trinklets maybe. What a pity. Perhaps there have been some financial issues that forced them to sell?

How about a years-long court case fighting against the Bulgarian state?

There is also the maintenance of the Vrana Palace, for example. But it's a shame they sold all the tiaras.
 
Unlike the Greeks the don't really attend Gala's and as such probably don't need them.
Tsarita Margarita doesn't really dress up much either and seems to wear just plain outfits.
 
The jewels were sold several years ago.
The family also had to bear very significant expenses after Kardam's accident. His house in Madrid was renovated to adapt it to his needs and they had to pay for treatments and staff to look after him 24 hours a day.
 
I suppose the jewels have been sold long before the renovation of the Madrid house and are not related to the maintenance of Vrana and Tsarska Bistrista.
I think the only significant jewels spotted on the Queen in recent years are a pair of ruby earrings and a large bow with (topaz) pendant. They might still have Queen Giovanna's pearl bandeau and the rather awkward floral/button tiara Miriam wore in Denmark in 2004.
