And it makes perfectly sense that she and Bertil have split up their inheritance, so that each of the siblings gets a part of it.

Thanks,I didn't know that!

The late Princess had some interesting pieces in her jewel collection!

But as we saw Victoria wear à brosch she got from Lilian the dag after Lilian passet away the swedish ladies maybe see wearing jewllery as à way to remember their Loved once

Thanks for posting,its obviously a historic piece but not to everyone's tastes!

I never knew it was originally a necklace -it's much prettier as a necklace for sure... In my opinion.

Has to! It looks like the necklace that Bertils mother is wearing has only one strand of the wreath where as this has two?

I would like to see it as one strand as a tiara! That might be interesting! Perhaps Sofia will wear it one day, and she might see if it can be worn as one, only time will tell.

This answers my question! She folds it and somehow holds it into her hair, so it can not be detached. It is not officially a tiara but a necklace. Thanks fir this link, it was rather informing.

I would love to see it as anecklace instead as a tiara when we see it the next time, there are many tiaras and i think the collection needs a diamond necklace besides the revires

The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor: Tiara Thursday: Lilian's Laurel Wreath Tiara

Like I said before, I think this tiara is unusual and one of my least favorites in the Swedish royal collection. Though I do like it as a necklace.

Out of all the tiaras she has worn, my top favorite is the Baden Fringe tiara.

could lilians laurel tiara be used as a bandeau tiara and a braclet?
A laurel bandeau as Estelles first tiara and a bracelet to go with it, until then use it as a necklace.
