Yes many people ignore it till now and that's what it’s so wonderful with blogging on TheRoyalforums nowadays. The Kingdom of Madagascar has been recognized for the first time by a great power, Great Britain in 1817 although some principalities have escaped to the Kingdom of the Center.It ends in 1897 six months after the colonization of the Big Island by France. But let's go back to the Malagasy royal jewels now. Here's an array of the same pictures below :







1 The Coral Tiara of the Queen RANAVALONA III of Madagascar:



2 A part of the last Queen of Madagascar’s Coral full dress:


3 The Queen RANAVALONA III portraited by Trevor HADDON in London – Credit Photo : Rominia:


The picture of the Queen (3) with her light diamond tiara and the State Crown on her right is from a Trevor HADDON portrait made in London from photography.
It‘s described as a light diamond tiara topped with “brillants” and centered with an enamel “médaillon” of the royal arms. It is a private jewel purchased in Paris in early 1887 on her own cassette. She will bring it with her in exile in Algiers in 1899.

If she reigns today on our Great Island, Ranavalona III would surely be trimmed with diamonds but also multicolored fancy sapphires as the country abounds.
However the Queen was portrayed (4) with the massive gold state crown with seven spearheads (5) and the small gold crown decorated with lilies and royal insignia (6 - 7) the seven spareheads.
The state crown is yet now exposed at the Museum , it was made by Malagasy jewelers with the first kilogram of gold officially mined in the country inca.1890

4 The Queen RANAVALONA III of Madagascar (1861-1917) with the gold State Crown – “coloured” portrait:

Default More Regalia (no pics)

Then there's the Crown of St Stephen, and the crown that Empress Zita wore at the coronation of Emperor Karl (and herself) as King and Queen of Hungary in 1916.

And there is the Swedish Regalia, various crowns, including the crowns of the Royal Princes.

The Bavarian King's Crown

The crown of the King of Tonga

The crowns of the Kings of Thailand

The silver-gilt "symbolic" crown of the Kings of Spain

The jewelled helmet of the Kings of Nepal (and possibly Bhutan)

The Imperial Crown of Brazil

The crowns of the Sultans of Malaysia

and of course Iran.

Can anyone think of any more?

No it is not placed on the head of the monarch anymore. The original one was stolen I think and that is just a replica. The replica is still used in the ceremony it is just not actually put on the monarchs head.
