Both queen Silvia and crown princess Victoria have a brooch designed by Tarja Halonen, the former president of Finland. President Halonen designed the brooch as a president and it has been made only a few pieces. President Halonen gave the brooch to queen Silvia at a state visit to Finland in 2003 and to crown princess Victoria on hers and prince Daniel's visit to Finland on 1st November 2010.
Queen Silvia and crown princess Victoria wore the brooch at president Halonen's farewell visit to Sweden on her last days as a president in February 2012.

Other items
Princess Birgitta's Diamond & Pearl Circle Tiara (now owned by Desiree of Hohenzollern)
Birgitta, Desiree of Hohenzollern, Ute of Hohenzollern

Don't know if these have a name, so I am giving them a name and, for clarity describing the event as needed:

Mainau Cuff-Link Fringe Tiara:
Countess Sonja Bernadotte, Countess Bettina Bernadotte, Countess Sandra Bernadotte (worn for her wedding)

Mainau Diamond & Gemstone Swag-Fringe Tiara:
Countess Karin Bernadotte, Countess Bettina Bernadotte (worn for CP Victoria's wedding - it looks to be set with amethyst, citrine, and sapphire stones at the top of the spikes)

Countess Sandra Bernadotte's Bracelet-Tiara:
Countess Sandra Bernadotte (worn for her wedding reception and for CP Victoria's wedding)

*Countess Marianne Bernadotte's tiaras (at least two - one pearl and one diamond and yellow gold) are not included with this list because most reports are that they were brought into the marriage to Sigvard by her.

**Countess Madeleine Bernadotte's tiara worn for CP Victoria's wedding is not included in this list. It has been referred to as the von Rosen tiara, a possession of the family of Prince Carl's first wife, Elsa von Rosen, and borrowed by Madeleine for this event.

***There are some items missing from the list (The Bernadotte Diamond Earrings, some of the diamond brooches, bracelets, etc) because I am still researching them and/or they don't have a "name". Please feel free to add or if you have information you would like to share about these or any other pieces, I will be asking questions about specific pieces when I can.

For now, hope this list helps any others. Have a great day, happy hunting, and I hope we can all discover a great deal together

Queen Louise's Aquamarine Bandeau (now owned by Madeleine)

This weekend it was worn by christina do you think that means something,
 
Josephine,
We saw Countess Madeleine Bernadotte kissing Queen Sylvia. She wore the von Rosen tiara
Countess Marianne wore no tiara ?
It is always sad not to have pictures of the minor Royals.
 
maria-olivia thank you.
Yes i also think its sad that we do not get good photos of the minor royals jewlery
 
It's a pity that Countess Marianne did not wear a tiara (2nd pic). She used to wear a tiara made of some kind of arches and I've never seen a good close-up of that one. I really had hoped to see that tiara once again.

Countess Madeleine (fist pic) again wore the tiara from her mother's family, the von Rosens. If she had intended ever to wear the tiara of her step-mother, Countess Christine, she should have done so this year. There won't be another family event with tiaras for the next 10 years. I don't think that she will ever wear it.

pictures cropped to less than 20% of the original
 
The tiara is from her mother, the earrings from her grandfather. What about the ring and the cuff-links?
 
Josefine said:
is she wearing the bracelet we have seen as a tiara on her daughters?

Yes, she is ;) I also noticed that.
The pearl necklace in the first picture has been worn by Queen Silvia, thought not as often as the Oriental pearls from the Bernadotte collection.

Edit: The dress watch in the first photograth looks like the one The Crown Princess sometimes wears at formal events, thought I've read in the past that it belonged to her Sommerlath grandmother.

I agree, that must be the tiara-bracelet she is wearing.

I don't recognize the large brooch in the second picture. Can somebody identify it?

Not sure about provenance beyond Princess Sibylla, but the brooch has been worn by Princess Christina, Mrs. Magnuson:

Thank you! That must we the one. One can see the shape much better in the pics on Princess Christina. It looks like a mix between a flower and a star, and it's also quite large.
 
Picture is not great I assume we are referring to this

The tiara is a replica, well not much of one in that it doesn't really resemble the original. Gerard's made it as a replacement to Queen Maude's (seen in link below) which was stolen when the jeweler had it for cleaning.

Queen Silvia's has a slight resemblance. They are both modern tiaras that are crafted old fringe style. The Norweigian is about 9 years newer (made in 1995). Silvia's was likely an anniversary gift in 1986.
