The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor: Tiara Thursday: Queen Maud’s Turquoise Tiara
A beautiful and regal tiara.

Do you have a pic?Did Princess Ragnhild inherit a spiral-shaped diamond brooch which Queen Maud had originally received as a wedding gift in 1896?
An Ard Ri,
The decendants of Count Flemming Rosenborg (Denmark)sold their grand parents items in Paris. There were items of Prncess Ingeborg of Sweden and I bought a silver note book with "I "and a crown, she was King Albert II grandmother..
I am sure the Lorentzen (who will never wear tiaras anymore) will sell a lot of royal items belonging to their Mother when their father will pass away.
Why would they sell? The Lorentzens are millionaires and a diadem/necklace in the family comes handy.
The aigrett must be very lightweight and convenient to wear.
I recall seeing photos of Britain's Queen Mary wearing what looked like the ruby and diamond aigrette and the all-diamond wings now with Princess Astrid. Would I be right in assuming they are the same pieces?

It is funny to read all the speculation about Princess Ragnhild, Mrs. Lorentzens jewellry.
The Lorentzen family has a fortune of billions. So they do not need to sell any jewels. Secondly: NO item from the jewellry collection of the late princess has been seen back in Norway since she passed away. That means Queen Sonja has not worn any pearl choker from her etc. as someone told in this thread. The pearl choker of Queen Sonja is from Queen Alexandra / Queen Maud.
The diamond tiara of Maud/Ragnhild is back in the royal vault. Probably it will go to the crown princess when Princess Ingrid will turn 18. The princess Ingrid will probably get the Daisy tiara as an 18th birthday gift, which is more suited to a young princess, and the big one to the crown princess, that has few options today. When Princess Märtha Louise turned 18, she received a small pearl tiara from her grandfather King Olav. I bet this will be the case.
I do hope what you are saying is true and the tiara is back in the royal vaults, awaiting use by MM or IA. It would be a pity to see it leave the royal line.
I have a couple of very high resolution pictures of Ragnhilds jewels, the diamond tiara and the boucheron pearl circle tiara and additional jewels. Too bad I can not show them here.
