Crown princess Victoria´s necklace and earrings at the opening of Synod yesterday at the Uppsala Cathedral:

The necklace is great, very beautiful. However, maybe it was a little bit too big for a Cathedral.

There was too much going on with this outfit and I feel the same about the jewels,too.
I didn't like that necklace at all.

Actually, this is a piece of perfectly ugly and cheap-looking costume 'jewelry'... quite the opposite of elegant. I hope it ends up very far in the back of some drawer, to be forgotten asap.

I agree. You have the real thing so, wear and enjoy it. Nothing feels like real jewels!!

I love the earrings and their stones' rich blue color, but I consider those bracelets rather tasteless.

If you mean the colorful ones, those were given to her.

Originally she only had the silver one she often wears, and one to match the earrings, and another random one, which doesn't seem overdone to me.

Yes, I meant the colorful ones, Lilnana. Thanks for clearing this up and for providing the above photo! I have to add that Victoria's watch is so beautiful, such a classic piece!

 Terrific look all round, especially the left arm adornment!

CP Victoria continues to wear far too much costume jewelry for my taste.
By now, she has all kinds of fake sets, not of all them pretty, worn a couple of times and then thrown out...
...while it would be much better to either invest in a few real, modern and fresh pieces, or to dig into the considerable Bernadotte vaults, with the possibility of finding new ways to wear old jewels.
The green-ish things worn with the black & white outfit look somewhat okay-ish, but that's all... imagine no necklace but diamond chandelier earrings, or a modern set of (colored) pearls - then you have a classy look.
The trouble is, her stylists seems to have a real liking for the fake stuff.

I am in total agreement Boris. The vaults are filled with beautiful brooches. Younger people seem to forget the different ways you can wear them. This costume jewelry CP Victoria is wearing is really ugly.

I agree w Boris & Rubies, the tri colored chain necklace and earrings are ALL wrong. I do not mind costume jewelry but the problem here is two fold:
One, she wears costume jewelry at in appropriate times.
Two, the costume jewelry she wears is poor in design, material and execution.
Again, Victoria is being groomed to be Queen, her jewelry should reflect that, IMO.

Costume jewelry can be fun or charming, but IMHO this is neither. It's just some imitation trying to look like a grand piece, which is the worst kind of costume jewelry.
Rhinestones and probably black jet I'd say, not even onyx:

She could have chosen the real thing from the vast collection available, many pairs would have looked good with black, and her outfit here would have had at least one nice aspect.

The Diamond bandeau worn like a headband, looks wornderful on CPrincess Victoria IMO. I love her hair worn down and full this way. The pleated pink gown looks great on the princess, very regal indeed.
