Queen Louise's tiara
Hi Countess Felicitas. I'm not sure that a picture of Queen Louise's tiara by itself actually exists. But if you review the thread on Swedish jewels, the tiara is now the property of Princess Desiree. Although she has in the past borrowed the Baden Fringe (for the pre-wedding festivities of the King and Queen) and the Amethyst tiara (for the 1980 Nobel ceremonies), Queen Louise's tiara is now only worn by her.
In many of the pictures the tiara appears small, but it is actually substantial in size, it is usually just hidden in her rather bouffant hairstyle. The tiara itself consists of all diamonds rising from the ends to a central point almost in a triangle shape. Between the top and bottom rows of the tiara are diamond scrolls decreasing in size as they reach the edges. Queen Louise wore the tiara low on her forehead (between her eyebrows and hairline) as was the style of the time. I have only seen one photo of her wearing it. As she was rather young, I believe it was before she married and became Crown Princess of Sweden.
Hope you understand my description. Have a great day!
