    Stockholm tiara Archived Message

    That is the Stockholm tiara. It was a wedding gift from the city of Stokolm to Pss Astrid. She is wearing it here on a visit to the Vatican (so the black dress).
    Not the prettiest nor the more wearable of tiaras I think....
    Later the pearl top center of the tiara was detached and worn as a brooch by King Leopold's second wife Pss Lilian.
    Nor the tiara nor the brooch have been seen for many decades...
