Thank you, Tamara! Your pics are always such a treasure!
I had not noticed the central (cushion-shaped?) diamond on the tiara either. It is splendid to be able to see such a level of details! This tiara had always looked to me nice, but somehow a bit plain; but actually, seeing these details, it's a very delicate and beautiful tiara! - though I still regret that the bride did not choose / had not the possibility to wear the splendid (but not overwhelming) Savoy-Aosta diamond tiara, which is regularly seen on Archduchess Astrid's head.
You can also notice, between the tiara and Archduchess Elisabetta-Maria's hair, the frame of the tiara, carefully and skillfully hidden behind a blond-hair braid.
I do not remember having seen the pearl and diamond earrings on Archduchess Astrid or any other Belgian or Habsburg royal lady. But I have to check further. They might also be a wedding or engagement gift to the bride.
As usual, the Norwegian journalist Kjell Arne Totland has several HQ pics on his "Kongebloggen" website, on which you can enjoy the bride's jewels (and the newlyweds' genuine and radiant happiness as well!): http://blogg.tv2.no/kongebloggen/2014/07/05/kongelig-bryllup-i-roma/
