Of course, I know we all dream of a grand diamond tiaras "battle" between our two most-glittering queens: the big Braganza tiara (along with the full Brazilian diamond parure) for Queen Silvia, versus the House diamond tiara (along with the full matching parure) for Queen Maxima...
Queen Silvia already donned the full Brazilian diamond parure for Queen Beatrix's State visit to Sweden in 1986:
As an alternative option, the Leuchtenberg parure will always be a nice match with the blue ribbon of the Dutch Civil Order of Merit of the Netherlands Lion. Queen Silvia had worn it during the Swedish State visits to the Netherlands in 1976 and 2009.
I would also love to see again Queen Victoria of Sweden's pearl and diamond stomacher (worn by Queen Silvia only once, for a State banquet at Charlottenburg Palace during the Swedish State visit to Germany, on 6th October, 2016), or the Connaught Scarab necklace (bequeathed by the late Princess Lilian to Queen Silvia, but never worn). The latter would be a nice option for a black-tie return event.
