According the swedish newspaper from 1889 translated to english: “The diadem is a gift from the Emperor. It is an excellent work and the artwork gracefully found. Three rows turquoises, the one above the other, raising ever larger and larger, be surrounded of the most magnificent arabesques in diamonds. The biggest turquoises of pear shape forming like a coronet, framed by big diamonds. Toward both ends of the diadem it becomes smaller” --Previous Message-- : Yes! Thank you Carlo and Martina, that's the : tiara I was talking about. A complete : mistery to me. : Is it just my eyes or cold there be perhaps : pearls or turquoises in the center and : between the base of the flowers? I will wait : Claes response on the description of Queen : Sophie's turquoise tiara... It would be : wonderful to find a match between Pss : Catherine tiara and her mother's : "unknown" turquoise set. : : As to Pss Irene's tiara on this event I : always thought it was indeed one of the : riviéres worn as tiara. If we look at the : pictures of Queen Frederika wearing them, : the diamonds seem quite large. Placed on a : proper frame they would look similar to : Queen Juliana's diamond rosecut bandeau. : Like the idea . But we don't know the : wereabouts of those amazing riviéres of : Queen Frederika nowadays. : : : : : --Previous Message-- : To Cristina : Is this the tiara you mean? BTW, at this : same evening in Athens, Princess Irene of : Greece (King Constantine II's sister) wore : what I think it is a diamond collets : necklace as a bandeau (head ornament). : Unfortunately I do not have any close-up of : this. Maybe one of those diamonds rivières : we spoke about in the posts below? : : Here is a side photo with Princess Catherine : and tiara on the bottom right of picture: : : Group photo: : : Here is a close-up posted by Martina, as she : says not the best but the only available : (thanks Martina): : : : :
