Now so many royal jewelleries have disappeared. It’s very rear to see all these jewelleries. Together all the jewelleries are looking very beautiful..

Just love the pearl necklace, would like to know more about it. Looks great against the emerald green dress.

Necklace and brooch

Oh my, looks grandmotherly, rather than queenly regal, imo!

I've just read that Queen Sofia's Cartier Pearl Tiara(the one Christina wore at the Swedish Royal Wedding) used to have emeralds instead of pearls? Does anyone have photos of this. I wish the King would buy some emeralds for the tiara, the SRF are in desperate need of a coloured stone headpiece.

It was often worn by Queen Victoria Eugnei in this version. Unfortunately she had to sell the emeralds during her exile.
Yes it would be great if the King would buy some emeralds or perhaps also sapphires who could be changed with the pearls in the tiara.

Or he could buuy some rubies , since his wife already has a very impressive ruby necklace and matching earrings and therefore rubies would be more "ecomonical" ( fewer stones needed to create a coloured suite )

But she has also a emerald necklace and a sapphire necklace.
For rubies i would like if the redesign the current ruby tiara perhaps with adding more diamonds.

I have to confess that first, I didn't like this tiara too much either.
However, I started to realize that it is very unique in it's type - and it can be good looking for more petite women like princess Letizia.
I think she was wearing it actually at one occasion. Somebody has a picture?

[Duke of Marmalade]

yes in 2007 at the phillipine state visit. the earrings looked great with the shell tiara.

I'm curious also. I would say its an old emerald bead necklace. (in that color Very expensive) Anyone have any info about this?

[Duke of Marmalade]

Whatever it is, it doesnt work with the pearls.

Queen Sofia´s earrings at the Copa del Rey gala, and a tons of bracelets and necklaces. The earrings are great, but she could have dropped most of the necklaces and bracelets.
