great to see them side by side
i think elisabeth tayler had a necklace is 'Flaming Heart' motif.
I s there other necklaces or tiara with same motiv. I think for silvia it lack a good set of earings in same kind of era, when she wears this tiara

: I believe that both tiaras, very similar in
: design but very different in construction,
: display variations of the 'Flaming Heart'
: motif, which was (and is) indeed a popular
: one in jewellery.
:
: They don't come from the same jeweller; the
: Swedish ruby tiara, gift from King Edward
: VII to CP Margaret (of Connaught) was made
: in 1905 by jewellers Wolff and probably
: retailed by Garrard's.
:
: On an aesthetic level, I agree that the ruby
: tiara is too high and not wide enough to be
: worn easily; on the other hand, the
: Rosenborg sapphire tiara does not have any
: connection between its motifs and the motifs
: themselves are not connected to the base but
: simply put on top of the ring.
: IMHO, this makes them look a bit disparate
: and isn't exactly the most desirable way in
: terms of craftsmanship to create a tiara...

: I have no notes on when it was made, but it
: certainly looks very similar in the motifs
: to Crownprincess Margaretha wedding gift
: rubi necklace tiara. I am no expert but
: could it be XIX century? I am not sure if I
: can call them festoon motifs, but I believe
: these wore very popular in victorian times.
:
: The danish tiara seems more atractive and
: balanced to me because it has 5 larger
: motifs and circles well around the lady's
: head, while the swedish tiara has only 3
: motifs looking very much like a
: "wooper" on the front of the
: lady's head. To my eyes it looks a bit
: incomplete, althought the design is
: beautiful. It would look superb if two more
: similar motifs were added to the sides.

: Thanks Martina. This was the first picture
: I've seen of the tiara with the turquoises
: on any of the ladies who wore it. I only
: have pictures of Princess Elizabeth wearing
: it with the cabochon saphires.
: This tiara is one of my favourites with
: saphires, I think it has a beautiful
: classical look. It would look stunning on
: Crownprincess Mary's dark hair .

: I too have never seen this picture before.
: So
: thanks for the link. But I have read before
: that the tiara can also be worn with
: turquoises.

: Stig kindly posted several pictures of
: Princess Caroline-Mathilde on the
: Scandinavian board, as rememberance of the
: princess centenary.
:
: One of the pictures, I had never seen, shows
: her saphire tiara, inherited from her aunt
: Princess Thyra, with the saphires replaced.
: Are those stones turquoises or are they
: pearls? Is this the tiara called as
: "the saphire/turquoise tiara" on a
: thread below?
:
: This was the first picture I saw of this
: tiara been worn with other than the saphires
: as center of the diamond elements.
:
: Also her beautiful diamond earrings in that
: picture are not familiar to me. Does someone
: knows which of her children is the present
: owner? I don't seem to remember Princess
: Elizabeth wearing these.
