I also thought of a future 18:th birthday tiara for Princess Estelle when i saw that Virginia Ogilvy’s lovely tiara was up for auction..Lady Airlie's tiara is coming up for auction. And as usual, I think it would be a great purchase for Mary or Mathilde, so supplement their jewellery collections for their children.

Perhaps it will be passed to Estelle for her 18th?
I don’t know to be honest… I never understood why Bohlin created such a thing for Victoria instead of a statement piece for our first direct female heir since Queen Christina…
That ofcourse is a possibility annd would be wonderful to see it makes its way back to the mainline.
It does not have to be a bequest, it could be an acquisition made by the King or Victoria for Estelle.
Yes ofcourse but that does require that they want to sell the tiara… Princess Desirée’s family is high nobility and wealthy in their own right so i’m not sure they would want to sell unless they really have to sell…
Indeed. But it is good to see that Princess Margareta's aquamarine tiara appears to be back in use by the broader family.
I think the family of Princess Birgitta should leave part of her jewellery to the Swedish Royal Family
Agree. Hope the tiara from Queen Louise Mountbatten will be given to Estelle. And from Birgitta I wish the sapphire necklace and earrings will be purchased from the family and included in one of the jewel foundations.
Yes, but one can always wish they can make an agreement although they are high nobility and may need the tiara in the future. It is a nice starter tiara, much better than the small monster that Victoria received for her 18th.
Yes Birgitta gave her pearl tiara to her daughter decades before she passed away… That was her only personal tiara, a wedding gift from her grandfather Gustaf VI Adolf who ordered it from a jewellery firm in Stockholm… All her other tiaras was from either the swedish or the hohenzollern family collections..
Yes Princess Sibylla’s Sapphire's are stunning and would love to see them back in the main line again.
Those sapphire and diamond earrings are absolutely gorgeous. The diamond necklace would make a lovely smaller tiara if it was mounted on a frame. I’m all about jewel versatility!
Mathilde has in recent years acquired / worn in public 2 different pairs of pendant sapphire & diamond earrings, so I do not think she will have interest in these.

Perosnally, I think this is a piece for a museum or a collector to buy, rather than a royal.Which Princess would like this Gold, Opal and Diamond Tiara?

That has Margarethe of Denmark written all over it, if she was in the market for a tiara.Which Princess would like this Gold, Opal and Diamond Tiara?

It could be something Queen Mary could use too for visits to smaller republics or have on hand for Isabella as well. Reading the information, it is by a Danish designer who also apparently spent time in Australia.
Mathilde has acquired a few brooches in recent years, but this too would work in her collection, especially as she prepares to provide jewellery for 4 growing children and their spouses.

I like it and yes I could actually see Mathilde wearing this as the queen is rebuilding the Belgian jewel collection.
