This tiara is a great discovery, such a pleasant and pretty piece. This only begs the question as to, where did it come from? It is clear from all sources that the Brazilian gift was broken up to remodel the tiara; we all assumed that this tiara was that aforementioned hair-ornament. Clearly not, thus this piece now has an interesting provenance to solve. Also, I believe that Sophie is here wearing The Queen's King Faisal of Saudi Arabia Necklace. For the Swedish Royal Wedding she borrowed The Queen's King Khalid of Saudi Arabia Necklace. Also, although I have not been able to find a picture that is clear enough to compare, I believe Sophie could be wearing the diamond and pearl-pendant earrings that The Queen wore in 1977 during her Silver Jubilee celebrations. Or at least an almost identical pair of earrings. --Previous Message-- : Another blue stone tiara and new diamond : necklace: : : : : : : It looks like she is wearing the King Faisal : necklace of QEII. : : :
