A Swedish news report in 1926 mentioned that the tiara also could be worn as a bracelet or a necklace.
Was the bandeau a full circlet? I thought it was a half circlet (about the same size as a wrist/bracelet) and that an extension was needed when worn as a necklace.
How does a diadem large enough for a grown woman’s head work as a bracelet, unless the woman had a monstrously sized wrist? It would be too big to wear.
No, the ‘Stockholm’ tiara was kept. Queen Astrid and Princess Lilian wore the tiara as brooch and bracelet after the redesign of the nine provinces tiara.
Princes Astrid did not like the Stockholm tiara and wore the pearl as Brooch such as Princes Lilian on her hat for the Wedding of Prince Albert.
Princess Astrid did not like her Wedding tiara and
added Arches . As the arches needed a lot of diamonds which was expensive I think she sold the base of the Stockholm tiara to the Jeweler.
