Here is a another tiara for Queen Sonja. The caption says it is the "Oslofjord" tiara.

It wasn't just one of the tiaras - but several jewels. It happened in 1995.

Garrard's in London on Sunday were the property of Queen
Sonja. Among the stolen jewels was a pearl and diamond tiara
that had been a wedding gift to Queen Maud, grandmother of
King Harald.

They weren't. One of the stolen Jewels was the well-known Queen Maud Pearl Tiara.


The "Queen Maud Pearl Tiara" Queen Sonja wears today is a replicate.


The copy of the Pearl Tiara was made by Gerrad's (the place where the original Tiara was stolen). The Pearls and Diamonds look the same as ones of the original Tiara so you nearly don't see it's a copy.

Information about this Tiara can be found at this site:

Oh why must she wear that thing. She has such beautiful jewelry and she wears that. Does anyone actually like it I wonder? Although it seems it was a gift from her husband, so the sentimental value might very well overshadow the pure ugliness of it I suppose.

Bigger picture of (Princess) Sonja wearing full regalia

CP Sonja with Tiara, earrings and more
Scanpix, originally posted here

During her first Portrait as Norwegian Crown Princess Sonja wore the wonderful Queen Josephine's Diamond Tiara with matching Diamond earrings.
Additionally she wore a Diamond bracelet and ring (probably her engagement ring).

It's funny.. sometimes the Tiara looks big and heavy while in other photos it looks really small.. always depnding on Sonja's hairdo.

Here you can see how the Empress Josephine Emerald Tiara has been altered.

This is the altered version, Queen Sonja uses to wear:
Empress Josephine Emerald Tiara

This is the old version (in this picture: worn by Princess Ingeborg)
The old Tiara

The two oval emeralds have been removed from the Tiara, and are now used as earrings.

I love this Tiara! The old and the new version!

For the dinner for the Bishops (in 2007) Queen Sonja wore the Malteser Tiara with all Crosses :

(posted by Larzen here)

Sadly we didn't get any other pictures of this (secret :P ) event... I cannot judge from this pictures how this Tiara looked on her.
Usually it looks hideaous with all weird crosses. ... in a way it looks a bit better then usualy this time.

Yes, she did.
Queen Sonja usually wears it with 3 crosses and uses to wear the 4th cross on her sash or neckline.

Good close-up of the Diamond Tiara and the Diamond earrings and necklace that belong to it
(+ little extra diamonds in her hair)
