Thank you very much Tamara for the trouble you took in your detailed explanation and pictures. I knew it was not probable at all but I really did not see the oval emeralds in that picture, and I was wondering if I was the only one or someone else had also the same impression...

: That caught my eye too but after looking at it
: closely, I am sure the tiara is in its
: original form...here is why, Ingeborg is
: walking out of the building, and with the
: daylight you have lots of sparkle from large
: stones...if the sun hits the stone at an
: angle, it creates this white glare, which I
: believe we see in this photo. In addition
: she is walking down the steps so
: photographer took the photo from the bottom
: of the steps which visually alters the
: actual dimension of this tiara.

: I hope this answers your question

: I was watching part 1 of the fabulous
: documentary on the royal jewels and I saw a
: picture that puzzled me very much... at
: minute 21:31 the narrator is talking about
: the emeralds now in Norway and a picture (a
: bit blury) of Princess Ingeborg is shown on
: the left side of the screen...
:
: She is wearing the emerald tiara, it seems
: like it's in the begining of the 20th
: century, she is still a young woman wearing
: her darker hair up like ir was fashionable
: those days. What puzzles me is that the
: tiara does not seem to have the oval
: emeralds, later turned to earrings, on the
: sides of the central square emerald. The
: darker colour of the 3 square shaped
: emeralds in the front is quite visible but
: on that particular space it seems there all
: diamonds.
: I've compared it to other pictures of Queen
: Sophia and Ingeborg wearing the tiara and
: the oval emeralds seemed to be placed higher
: than this picture suggests. We know the
: tiara was altered years later (in the mid
: 1930's I believe) and this must be some
: reflection or my eyes playing tricks on me,
: but I wonder if anyone else has seen this?
: Thank you
