Lovely jewels, suitable for the event. I particularly like the earrings!
Lovely. I am surprised Silvia (or the girls) does not wear elements of this demi-parure more often.

It is really a pity that she now almost only uses this tiara or the leuchtenberg sapphires for Nobel. Some 20 years ago she also mixed the Connaught tiara or the Cameo Parure in between them.
agreed. I think the Cameo would have looked nice with this gown, albeit maybe a little busy. The Connaught could have been a great choice.
What could also have worked is the Cut steel tiara. But maybe Silvia think for Nobel this is to minor for the Queen
And the Amethyst Parure in 1986 and 2022… But it is not often she surprises us here…
The Nine Prong Tiara is tricky to wear as it is not flexible and can be a real pain if it doesn’t suit your headshape… Something Silvia got to experience during Nobel in 1976 when it gave her a terrible headache and left marks in her head…
What i wonder is that she did not know this already then. Because she had worn the tiara already a few months earlier at the State Visit to the Netherlands. Perhaps because she had not to wear it for such a long time then
Possibly that they didn’t secure it as hard in the Netherlands as it was not required to sit on for as long as it is for Nobel.
I've been trying to compile all of her tiara events, which is obviously quite difficult for the 70s-90s. Especially with many image sites going away or to log-in/pay to even see photos. but from what I've collected so far, it seems like the Nine Prong and Connaught are pretty close. But I do think the Nine Prong pulls ahead of the rest.
Really. The Connaught tiaracwas worn more often then the Leuchtenberg sapphires? Thought they and the Pronger are a battle about the most worn
I'm only about halfway through my work, so I could be way off. But from my initial grabbing of photos, it looks like Nine Prong is the most worn, Connaught second, and Sapphires third. but I did recently find an image site that has a lot of photos I haven't seen before, so maybe that'll change.
And my least favourite Swedish tiara!
I think I would like it more if we saw it less. She has so many tiaras to choose from, it's a shame to see her favor one over the other. Especially with Sofia really only wearing her own tiara these days and Madeleine only attends a few tiara events.
I guess Silvia has her favourite tiaras and she has quite a few to chose from for galas.
Indeed. But that is the case which most of the royal ladies. Queen Elizabeth II. favoured the Girls tiara, Queen Sonja favours the emeralds and the pearl tiara, Queen Margfrethe favoured the pearl-poire tiara and so on.
You don’t like Silvia’s Party Antlers?
But it’s obviously her favourite
And judging from my archive it was Queen Louise’s favourite as well all the way from her years as Crown Princess..
It looked lovely on queen Silvia and worked nicely with her gown too.
