Thank you!!! Monica for such a lovely photo of Crown Princes Martha..I have never seen it before.
Is it possible to show all the jewels with pictures? I think its easier to have visual backup to the list... 
I have photo of Princess Martha wearing the same brooch, which I always wondered if it was made of emeralds...and now it confirms it.
I have never seen sapphire earrings surrounded with brilliants...anyone has a picture?
I guess Princess Ingebord also gave (just like to Princess Astrid upon her marriage) large emerald brooch (is that on your photo that you supplied?) and emerald earrings, which resemble the ones Astrid also received and diamond riviere as well...I am not including emerald pendants as gifts because we had extensive discussion about them
 
One thing that puzzles me is "King's diamond tiara" that was designed from Queen Sofia's piece of jewelry....??? can anyone confirm which tiara they are talking about?
When I read, diamonds..I thought of this one..but not 100% sure.

: From the Swedish magasin "Vecko
: journalen" in 1929 one could read the
: following about the presents:
: (on the Vasa tiara) Regarding the wedding
: gift from the City of Stockholm, the story
: of this tiara has just started. The jewel is
: designed by Mr. Sven Carlman and is made by
: the court jeweler company O. F. Carlman. It
: has a repeating pattern of a stylized vase
: executed on a stock of platinum, with
: brilliants of exquisite quality, 986 all put
: together and weighing in all 49, 5 karats.
: The biggest brilliant, the solitaire,
: crowning the tiara, alone is weighing 4
: karats.
: The King’s Diamond tiara is next among the
: presents, produced at K. Anderson after a
: piece of jewellery once belonging to Queen
: Sofia and so cleverly made it can even be
: used as a bracelet. From her parents the
: Princess got a lovely diamond collier of big
: stones set in platinum, and an emerald set
: consisting of a big brooch and long ear
: rings. Last the Princess got from her aunt,
: princess Thyra, a pair of very long ear
: rings each with very big sapphires set in a
: frame of glittering brilliants.
