I believe the last time Queen Silvia wore the Baden fringe tiara was at the gala during thde state visit to Russia in late 2001, I believe. It's the pic with the green velvet dress on your blog, Josefine.
Coming up with the exact number of how many times she wore it is quite an impossible task as she wore it continously from 1976 on, both in Sweden and on state visits, though never for the Nobel. Generally, it was reserved for slightly 'less grand' occasions. These days it's the tiara that suits CP Victoria best IMO, but I also like the way Queen Silvia wore it - less close to her head and more part of her great upswept hairdos. There are so many fringe tiaras around in Royal collections, but the shape & design of this one is my favorite. I also appreciate the way how the Swedish RF considers some tiaras as strictly being worn by one member, lending a personal touch, while certain others (like the unfortunate button tiaras) are being shared. The six button tiara might be the only one worn by Princess Madeleine, Princess Lilian, CP Victoria and Queen Silvia. |

Don't forget Princess Birgitta, Boris. She wore the 6-Button to the King's 60th birthday celebrations. That makes five living Swedish royal women who have worn that tiara. Here's who has worn the others: Baden Fringe - Silvia, Lillian, Victoria, Desiree, Christina. Braganca Diamond - Silvia (I think only the queen may wear this one). Connaught Forget-Me-Not - Silvia, Desiree, Christina. Aquamarine Bandeau - Madeleine, Silvia, Christina. 4-Button-Victoria, Margaretha, Birgitta, Desiree, Christina. Cameo Tiara-Silvia, Birgitta, Desiree. (maybe soon Victoria, Madeleine, & Emma?) King Carl XVI Gustaf Fringe-Silvia, Madeleine, Victoria (only as a necklace). King Edward VII Ruby-Silvia, Countess Marianne Bernadotte (as a necklace). Leuchtenberg Sapphire-Silvia, Birgitta. Napoleonic Cut-Steel - Silvia, Christina, Victoria. Queen Josephine's Amethysts-Silvia, Victoria, Christina, Margaretha. Queen Louise's Diamond Tiara-Desiree, Margaretha, Christina. Queen Sophie's Nine-Prong-Silvia, Lillian, Margaretha. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anyone, unless someone is still alive that I am unaware of. Mapper |

Great list, 'Mapper'!
Just a few additional notes: The cameo tiara and Leuchtenberg sapphire tiara have only been worn by Queen Silvia since her marriage. Countess Marianne Bernadotte also wore the Kingward VII ruby tiara as a tiara once, in the early 1980's when invited to one of the New Year's galas at the Palace. Both Queen Silvia and Princess Lilian have stopped wearing the Baden fringe tiara since it became CP Victoria's 'Trademark'. Princess Lilian stopped wearing the Nine-Prong-tiara in the 1980s, leaving it exclusively for Queen Silvia. And finally, it's totally new to me that Queen Silvia ever wore the aquamarine bandeau tiara! As you obviously have a great overview, do you remember when and on what occasion? |

Okay, total brain cramp! It was Desiree not Silvia who wore the aquamarine bandeau. Thanks for your other updates as well, Boris! Mapper |

There was never any definite opinion given on Queen Silvia's new set featuring necklace, matching earrings, a very large ring... and I bet there might be a matching bracelet out there as well. I wonder if the red stones are cabochon rubies or mere garnets? Are they set in yellow gold plus diamonds? Also, at first glance I thought it might be a vintage 1930's design but of course I might be wrong -ideas, anybody? |

For the first time since Prince Joachim of Denmark's wedding in 1995, Queen Silvia has worn the Connaught ruby tiara again. The occasion is the gala dinner during the Swedish Royal couple's state visit to Japan. She also seems to wear a (new?) ruby & diamond pendant on her diamond necklace. Link to pics, thankfully posted by Marianne on the Royal Jewels MB:

I like it much better now, perhaps the present hairstyle is better suited to match the tiara? It is the first time that I look at it and I don't get the feeling that it should have stayed a necklace anyway...

Yes, that is the one. I believe he had a fight with his uncle Sigvard about it.
- As others stated in other threads, the empress might have scaled down her appearance due to the earthquake that hit a part of Japan. Here a picture of Sylvia on her second day in Japan, wearing more lovely jewels from the swedish collection.

This has to be one of the largest crowns I've seen from a royal. This must give her a headache.
http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...3&d=1046296690 Does anyone have coronation pics of the King and Queen of Sweden?
