: IMHO, no - it's actually not that bad.
: Particularly charming on a very young
: Princess, and to my eyes definitely more
: appealing than any very large tiara with an
: unfortunate design (like for example the
: byzanthine cathedral worn on one's head in
: aquamarines in Britain, if I dare say so).

: Princess Madeleine's very first attendance

: Both are very odd contraptions: they
: resemble
: a fish's open mouth and in the swedish case
: one with a bugg trapped inside.

: It has always been said that the aquamarine
: bandeau tiara, Princess Madeleine's 18th
: birthday gift from her parents, was worn by
: Queen (then Crown Princess) Louise in the
: 1920s and 30s, although I've never found an
: original, reliable source for this
: information.
: Style-wise, it would certainly make sense to
: date it back to the 1920s and worn low on
: the forehead.

: It looks very "modern" - not 19th
: century at all. Perhaps there was something
: contained in it. It also looks like a
: single-strand diamond necklace mounted on a
: frame - ?
:
: And BTW, was Princess Madeleine's tiara once
: owned by CP Margaretha? I confess that also
: seemed very modern to me (although I know
: that she had a lot of "new"
: jewelry, as opposed to existing family
: pieces).

: Thankx to Mia who posted this link in the
: thread about the Garnet & Diamond
: Kokoshnik Tiara of the late Countess of
: Rosenborg I spent some hours looking after
: interesting jewels.
:
: I found this tiara, quite nice and fit for a
: young princess. Elisabeth, Amalia,...??
:
: It reminds me of the small diamond and
: aquamarine tiara from Sweden.

: I confess that I don't find the above tiara,
: or ones like it, to be at all appealing.
:
: I think it has a tendancy to look unfinished
: and I really do not like the spacing between
: either row.
:
: It also reminds me somewhat of the tiara
: worn by Princess Madeleine to the Danish
: Crown Princely wedding in 2004. And even
: with the central aquamarine, that tiara too
: failed to allure my attention for the right
: reasons. Really uninspiring I thought and a
: "waste" of a good stone.
