That has always been my dream, the restoration of Queen Sophie's diadem with the diamond fleurons. On the picture below the Queen wears one of the fleurons as a broche. Because at least one of the original large fleurons is still in the collection, a jeweller can re-create the diadem with new fleurons. That will be a costly affair anyhow. When the Prince and Princess can spend a lot of money on tutti frutti jewels (or on estates in Mozambique, Argentina and Greece) they must be able to finance such a restoration of Queen Sophie's coronet. Preferrably to be worn with a veil, à la the Swedish ladies in ye olde times.
