Dear Mrs. Diamond thank you so much for taking the time to write the translation, It was much apreciated.
What a wonderful descovery, and how wonderful it must be for that lady to have an historic piece with royal provenance in her family.
Although not covered in diamonds I must say I like this classical piece, I love garnets.

: Voilą , a quick translation:
:
: (Antique road show from Arvika, Sweden.
: Expert: Jan Ribbhagen.)
:
: Jan Ribbhagen: Here we have a wonderful
: note, saying: "In this box, a diadem
: that was a gift from queen Sofie to lady in
: waiting Gade and then given to Maria Schib
: who, on her 70th birthday Januari 23rd 1928,
: presented it to Mrs. Marie Magdalena
: Blackstad." [not sure about the
: spelling of the names]
:
: Woman: And Marie Blackstad is my father's
: father's mother. She was Norwegian.
:
: Jan Ribbhagen: Yes, queen Sofia was queen of
: both Sweden and Norway¦ And now let's see
: what the gift was ... (opens the box) Ta-da!
: Wow wow wow wow! Lots of nice gems with a
: royal history. I hereby declare that this is
: not a diadem anymore, but a tiara! Actually,
: there are really no definitions of
: "diadem" or "tiara" in
: Swedish, and no difference beetween them,
: but with royal history like this I suggest
: it's a tiara. I'm actually envious! Do you
: know the meaning of garnets?
:
: Woman: No?
:
: Jan Ribbhagen: If a woman's husband passes
: away, and she has some garnets, she is
: guaranteed to find a new husband quickly.
: The stones are nice, with moon stones in the
: middle of the garnets. Well, how much is it
: worth? An elegant tiara with this royal
: history... maybe 25 000 SEK (approx 2 700
: EUR or 3 500 USD).
:
: Woman: Wow! That's a surprise!
