I can't believe I'm saying it, but I don't really like the emerald and diamond tassel set either. But I could have them re-set!
For the Opening of Parliament concert, Queen Silvia wore her modern diamond necklace with the new ruby pendant, her small ruby earrings and diamond butterfly brooch set with rubies and emeralds. Here’s a large close up:any good photos of silvia jewllery 18th september
The diamond and ruby pendant is relatively new, Queen Silvia was first seen wearing it in public in late 2009. I find it difficult to tell if it’s contemporary or an antique piece acquired for/by her – what do others think?The ruby pendant is new?
The ruby pendant might indeed be a recently acquired but antique piece.Is it just me that think that the two pendents dont match with the necklace? The necklace seems modern and the pedants old fashioned
The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor: Tiara Thursday: The Nine Prong Tiara
This is one of my least favorite tiaras in the SRF. I agree with the blogger, it looks like antlers! Though, minus the antlers, I do think the rest of the tiara is stunning. It's just ruined by those antlers!
Great to see the sapphire parure again. It works excellently with her dress. I'm glad that there aren't any prongs tonight, I'm bored by seeing that one so often.
I got your message !So - here they are....welcome back.
Royal Jewels of the World Message Board: Jewels at Nobel 'Day After' gala
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.
