There are few similarities between Norwegian tiara and the one that Queen Josephine is wearing but they are not the same.... Well, where should I begin...I hit my archives and what ever books I could think of that might have had the similar design tiaras...of course initially I thought this un-identifited Queen Josephine's tiara (parure) was dead on close to tiara of Queen Sonja today... 1. The swirly diamond elements "wavy" at the base of each tiara is Identical. 2. If you remove all the large palmette elements and move the 5 large elements close to each other, you got Queen Sonja's emerald tiara. 3. From the same angle (after numerous search for the same angle photo) I found that the swirly elements between Palmette are much "Narrower" on Queen Josephine than the one on Queen Sonja's tiara... 4. The stones are more oval on QJ's tiara than on Queen Sonja's tiara. I put little collage together to show you visually what I am discussing... In addition to this...I did a little research because I was even more intrigued after Baxter (Thank you Baxter for extra set of eyes )pointed out in the old discussion that young Josephine's photo with emeralds, in her tiara, the diamond elements were similar to the diamond elements in Norwegian parure drops. We always wondered how josephine wore necklace, brooch that is now with Queen Sonja and not connecting the tiara that is now with Queen Sonja as well with the whole picture...
here is my theory... The painting that we saw of Queen Josephine at a very young age in a brooch, necklace, earrings and a tiara was most likely hers at that age...it could have been gift from her parents (after all) or her husband...which is not too far fetched idea...but what I want to point out is that her TIARA on that painting matches ALL the elements that were in the parure as we saw on CP Margaret of Sweden at British coronation..Here is what I mean 1. The diamond elements (wavy pieces above emerald drops) that were used on top of drops for the necklace are present in the tiara on the painting. 2. the large emerald stones on the tiara, match drops on the necklace and its 7 of them (see collage) 3. the palmette is IDENTICAL in design and even the small square emerald that's under each palmette (the way palmette shaped and goes into the emerald stone)..and when I mean Identical..I mean identical lol....I have circled everything in different colors in the collage, so you'll get a better visual sense... Every element from the tiara in that painting has been observed in the parure that exists today with Queen Sonja...So my logical conclusion, is that, Queen Josephine ONLY inherited emerald Tiara from her sister and NOT a parure as people thought initially. So, after inheriting this Grand tiara, she dismatles her smaller version tiara (from the painting) and creates drops to have Grand Parure. Please look at my collage closely....
