I have been tracking all the aquamarine stones in the swedish Royal family and its mind boggling how many large massive aquamarines Swedish Royals have..and it all comes from Crown Princess Margaretha of Sweden. After all she gave birth to 4 princes..so aquamarines would have been a very appropriate choice for birth gifts I am also convinced that the King bought the aquamarine tiara back into the foundation..I have to say, I am really amazed at how much knowledge he must have for the 'family jewels' for him to build even greater family jewel box. I think it is amazing that the present King is doing that...which makes me wonder, how many other pieces were bought back into the foundation and yet to see the light..after all his grandmother (CP Margaretha) had an amazing collection as the future Queen of Sweden Going back to the aquamarines, I have tracked oval shaped, square shaped and teardrop shaped (or as people call it a 'heart' shaped) aquamarines. The aquamarine pendant that Princess Madeleine inherited from Princess Lilian was this one...(first time posting this closeup) The same tear drop/heart shape pendants are now with former Queen Anne Marie of Greece, who got it from her mother Queen Ingrid AND Princess Margaretha of Sweden, who inherited from her mother Princess Sybilla. At the same time, Princess Lilian also owned Square shape aquamarines, as did Princess Desiree of Sweden and Princess Birgitta (posting picture of her daughter wearing the aquamarines). In addition Madeleine received two aquamarine drops which she wore on her engagement dinner...and she has her one aquamarine tiara which she has worn since young age...but that stone has more green in it than all the other ones. posting for the first time... posting blurred picture of the Aquamarine tiara and a huge brooch to show that indoors it photographs much darker and more bluer than in the daylight...this is why I believe that Madeleine's drops are aquamarine
