I have to say that my favorite royal cameos (and some will say I'm crazy) would be the ones in the Swedish Royal Family--I love how Silvia wore the cameo tiara for her wedding. Very impressive.
I can't really think of any other cameo sets--it may just be that I am so tired right now--well, wait a moment, weren't Victoria and Albert's RFO's cameos? I know there were levels of orders, but I can't recall at thsi moment!

I still think that the Swedish cameo tiara is not the best. The workmanship is exquisite, but for a wedding tiara- ewwugh

OH, I totally agree that the thing is HUGE and probably cumbersome to wear, but Silvia makes it look easy. I also like that the piece is so historic--it makes it even more special!

Lately I've become fascinated with Jade. Do any of the European Royal Families own fabulous Jade jewels?

I too love Jade! Imperial jade is so beautiful, it looks like emerald cabachons. I don't know why they are no royal jewels in Jade. If you look on Christies or Sothebys auctions for good jade with diamonds, it is really expensive. Maybe they need some...

I love the amethyst ones, I think it just such a beautiful jewel. But are there any Garnet ones? I rare see any garnet jewels in general, normal it's always ruby that gets used.

Question Royal Opal Jewelry

IŽam a great friend of opal jewelry. My mother also ows some very nice opal pieces, but opals are damnd expensive!

I think Queen Elizabeth owns a great opal necklace which was a gift from australia (for her coronation?). Have anyone pictures of this necklace?

Do you mean the item that looks like a dinner plate?

It's somewhere in Q. Elizabeth's thread. It was a gift along with a matching pair of earrings from Australia. It looks huge and I think it was said that she's never worn the set.

I was doing some reading. I think this is the Andamooka Opal, which weighs 203 carats. I've been looking for a photo but haven't had any luck... but I'm not one of the photo collectors here!

Found it. Go to the thread called Semi-Precious Royal Jewels, there's a link to it in Post 45, and there it is... in all its hideousness. Great for a geological specimen, not so good as a necklace!

Although I think the Australians were very generous in giving this piece to H.M., it's just too large to work well as a pendant on a necklace.

I like opals and it would be fun to see her wear a really nice-looking opal set.
