From that it would seem to be Von, Van is more Dutch and also Flemish.
I have looked and looked but nothing seems to fit the bill re a tiara and a ring with a word in diamonds.
I am looking forward to seeing it when James manages to post a photograph.
He is struggling to do that, I haven’t a clue so would more than struggle!

I think now that Knoblauch was a General and around the time of the Kaiser, he gave the name of Von , so Adolph Otto Van Knoblauch... wondered about any wars or conflicts around the 1759 time... might help.

Seven Years War 1756-1763. It was a global conflict. Third Silesian War was part of it.

The best way to research this is - of course - to do the full ancestry research if this is really a family piece. Everything else would most likely be speculation

 "Von Knoblauch" could mean that the family originated most likely from a village called "Knoblauch" ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoblauch_(Ketzin/Havel) ). And, you'd assume that a poor family would not have tiaras, so maybe the noble family "Von Knoblauch" could be a possibility  (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoblauch_(Adelsgeschlecht) )

I am pretty sure Knoblauch is German for garlic,that is not to say it is not a noble name,but the suggestion it is from a place name would seem more likely given the Von.
Hope you get further with this as we too are interested .
Best of luck .
