She could always do what HRH The Princess Marie-Christine "aka Michael" of
Kent did in the 1970s: place the tiara against a black velvet and wear it a la
Russie style!
It can be taken apart and worn converted as a necklace--the "fringe" style--
and there is as lower added silver bar (usually they are made out of silver-
even if the tiara is gold , gold/silver. or platnum--the silver bar you see-
look carefully under it is another with wrapped around brown pipe cleaner--
this is to blend into the hair, and give a firm foundation to hold into hair with
long hair pins. Ah, I'm giving the secrets away....
In the 1920s alot of women would wear a tiara and return to a top jeweller like
Cartiers, VC&A, etc.: and ask them to recommission as new design and
the piece would be taken apart! so alot of beauty was lost that way....

the measurements on that tiara for diademas is standard: ie. 6" across and
three to 4 inches in height at the front top.
That tiara is lovely and very practical and light weight--no headaches!

Well, how many watches does Madeleine have?
And who made them? I heard Silvia had a Cartier watch, what about Madde?

I thought she had only that evening style one and the other one which she wear quite often...(in the first picture)

I think that Queen Silvia has worn it some years ago, but I don´t know when and I don´t have a picture either.
If you look close I think that you can se that the"drops" are the pendants from the Connaught Tiara!
I dont really like the tiara Madeleine wore at the ball this weekend. IMO she looks almost like Lucia when she´s wearing it. ¨
I think she looks better in "smaller" tiaras such as the one she wore at the wedding in Norway in 2001
