As I said before, I believe the most plauble theory is that this set belonged to a Swedish Royal at one point in the past, left the main line, and was bought back recently by the King for the royal collection and placed in the Bernadotte Foundation. It has happened before (the ruby tiara, the large diamond earrings first worn by CP Victoria at her pre-wedding dinner, possibly Queen Sophia's pink tourmalines too), and it might have happened again here.
