That would give the Norwegian Queen various sets in different stones:
Emerald set inherited from Empress Amelie
Queen Desiree's diamond tiara or Queen Alexandra's diamond coronet with the diamond earrings, necklaces etc
Queen Maud's pearl necklace with other pearl jewels
Queen Maud's diamond tiara in the amethyst setting with queen Sonja's amethyst set
and in future they will also add Princess Astrid's turquoise set to it.
Plenty of variation and colours outside of the fairly predictable Sapphire and Ruby sets other countries have.
I agree, but Queen Maud’s grand diamond tiara can also be worn in a smaller version without the 21 diamond terminals according to some news reports in 1896. The tiara band has a nice scroll and trefoil pattern.
I also doubt that we will see this rather grand tiara on the Princess now. She will probably save that for a later date when she is older. But I would definitely want to see it worn again, and would it not be great if somebody else wore it on Saturday? (Here's looking at you Sonja )
Now THAT would really be something. Well perhaps that is being saved for when she is Queen of Norway, or Crown Princess.
I hope to se princess Ingrid Alexandra in Qeen Mauds diamond diadem.
