She wore it for the state visit from Bulgaria in October 2007, with the visit to Austria taking place in November.
Yes, she wore the cameo parure twice in a row, at both the Bulgarian and the Austrian State Visit. I have counted at least 10 appearances of the Cameo tiara from 2000 till 2007. So it's all the more strange that Silvia hasn't worn it for over ten years now. It's a mystery to me.

I can understand that she wore it not before her chidlren had all been married because of it's tradition as Wedding tiara but this year it will be 4 years sice the last one has married so it would be time for a reappearance.
 
I second that proposal.
 
Bernadotte riviere Project

One of the hardest task is to figure out how many diamond rivieres is the collection
We will never be 100% sure
what rivieres can you define there is in the collection?

1. Berndadotte Brazilian riviere (belongs to the Brazilian set talked about in the danish documentary) 40 diamonds long
Link to photo
2. Long diamond riviere worn by Lilian and Victoria - 2004 Royal Nobel Dinner at the Royal Palace in Stockholm on December 11, 2004
3. Diamond Collet Necklace 36 diamonds there is a clasp to this necklace Link to photo
4. A diamond necklace Victoria wore at Princess Märtha Louise wedding in 2002 and Madeleine wore the same necklace 2001 at Haakons wedding
5. Madeleine wore a The Diamond Bandeau at the same time she also wore a diamond riviere

this is a start
i am not saying these are the facts more like trying to figure it out

Isn't the diamond bandeau just a diamond riviere that the girls wore in their hair? If my memory serves me right it's been a long time since they last wore it.
There are pictures of Queen Louise where she wears three different rivieres in different lengths.

Especially on the picture of Victoria we can see that it's a necklace that they probably just sew into the hair.
Yes, it was exactly those two pictures of Queen Louise I meant!
 
Thank you for posting all those beautiful pictures. And God bless the swedish hairdressers
 
i hope we will get to see something new or something not worn by any of the ladies
 
Or something long not seen like the scarab neckalce or the processional necklace which i beleive was last seen at BVictoria's W3edding.

I'd love to see the Processional necklace again. Didn't Crown Princess Victoria wear it in some official pictures taken together with Daniel after the wedding?

Not so long It was woirn by Queen Silvia in May 2018 for the 50th birthday celbrations of Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark. but this is a piece that is not worn frequently by her.
 
In white gold it would be perfect.
I love amethysts.
 
Beautiful stones but the gold frame on the tiara does nothing for me,however it works better on the earrings.
 
First episode of SVT's two-episode series "Kungliga smycken" (The Royal Jewellery) will be shown at SVT1 this evening, but it was put to SVT Play last night, so we can watch it already now:
Kungliga smycken - Avsnitt 1 _ SVT Play

The second episode will be shown next week, 9th April.
