Victoria is allowed to wear any of the tiaras except for the Braganca Diamond Tiara because that is reserved for the queen. Other than tiaras it is probably Queen Silivia's choice whether or not she would lend Victoria any of her jewelry.

Does Queen Silvia "own" the tiaras, or are they in a family trust that Victoria can borrow from? I would think that since she is the Crown Princess that she would have access to nearly all the tiaras and parures in the family's collection.

I cannot remember which one that is. What does it look like?

The most valuable and historical pieces of jewellery belongs to a trust called the Bernadotte Foundation. This was set up to prevent any further break up of the parures and important pieces of jewellery - going to other countries (for ex in connection with a marriage) or being sold.

But the members of the Royal Family also own quite a lot of jewellery themselves, also some quite grand pieces.

I understant, but almost, if not all of the tiaras that Queen Silvia wears are from the Bernadotte Foundation. Isn't Victoria given the same privilages to borrow the tiaras or does she need to have permission from her mother? Don't anyone take this the wrong way, but I would think that since Victoria is royal born that she would have as much of a choice in what jewels she wishes to wear from the Foundation as her mother who is royal by marriage.

I'm not sure about that really, but I would guess that technically she would have the same access to the Bernadotte Foundation (because I can't imagine they would have any restricting rules for the members of the Royal Family) - but that in reality the most grand tiaras are sort of "reserved" for Queen Silvia. But to know for certain we'd have to ask a someone with insight to these things, I'm only guessing. And if you look at the tiaras Victoria and Madeleine wear, they stick to the same few all the time, while Queen Silvia of course use grander ones because it comes with her position as Queen.

I believe Victoria has full access to the Bernadotte Foundation except for the Braganca Diamond Tiara. Even though she wears the same ones over again (especially the button tiara!) perhaps she likes those tiaras or were given to her by her parents such as her first tiara. Also, this is just a guess, maybe she doesn't wear the Nine Prong Tiara or the Cannaught Diamond Tiara out of respect for her mother who uses them often.

I do know that Victoria wore pieces of the Cannaught Diamond Tiara as a necklace for the first tiara event for 2005 and borrowed a diamond necklace from Silvia which she wore for the formal dinner the day after Nobel 2004.

I would think the diamonds are real especially for a prestigious event such as the Nobel Prize. Their tiaras, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings are real, why wouldn't they make their hair piece real? But I don't think one could be 100% sure because they could be really good fakes. Are there any other pictures of Victoria with those diamonds in her hair?

Do the diamonds of this tiara form the outline of the Swedish Royal Coat of Arms? It definitely looks like they are tracing something very distinctive like that! That's incredible!

[soCal girl]

The button tiara makes another appearance! We have also seen that necklace time and time again. I think it's time for Victoria and Madeleine to get new necklaces for galas. The necklace Victoria is wearing is very pretty but when seen over and over again...sometimes with the same dress...I can't tell which event I'm looking at until I see the color of the sash! :o

I love this tiara on Victoria: (source is www.hola.es)

[Josefine]

not many people like that tiara they think its look like micky mouse ears
I like it when its placed right on her head and the hair cover a bit of the bace

[galuhcandrakirana]

Just wonder if the six buttons and the four buttons tiara were from different kind of jewelry before they were converted in to tiara (I think the button tiara shape is not a very usual shape for tiara)? Does any body know about it or where can I find about the tiaras' history background? thanks.

[swedishme]

i always thought this was THE ugliest tiara of all the tiaras the swedish roayls wear... (knappdiademet..whatever that is in english..)
