    : A gorgeous dress, I agree. Mette-Marit has
    : already worn it for Princess Madeleine of
    : Sweden and Christopher O'Neill's wedding in
    : 2013.

    : To remain focused on jewels, I always feel
    : some disappointment that, alongside her nice
    : and delicate (though not very impressive)
    : daisy tiara, Mette-Marit almost never wears
    : a necklace. She could borrow one of the
    : small diamond rivieres from the Queen, or
    : combine her daisy tiara with her amethyst
    : set (whose tiara seems to be actually a
    : necklace turned upside down), or with the
    : nice "Vifte" tiara/necklace. Or
    : she could even wear her tiara with a mere
    : pearl necklace. But she almost never does. I
    : have found only two occasions when she did
    : (one with a three-row pearl necklace during
    : the Estonian State visit in 2002, one with
    : the Vifte tiara during the Bulgarian State
    : visit in 2006, 4th and 6th picture on the
    : group of pictures below). Otherwise, her
    : large décolletés remain empty, which is a
    : pity (it looks as if something is missing,
    : jewellerywise).

    : What a gorgeous dress for the crown-princess

    : On Kjell Arne Totland's website
    : 'Kongebloggen', I have found these two HQ
    : pictures.
    :
    : The first one gives us a better view of
    : Queen Sonja's bracelet:
    :
    :
    :
    : On the second picture, we can see that
    : Princess Astrid is wearing a small diamond
    : bow brooch, which is NOT Queen Maud's bow
    : brooch, that the Princess regularly wears.
    : And Crown Princess Mette-Marit is wearing an
    : interesting pair of girandole earrings
    : (possibly made of emeralds, but I am not
    : sure) and a small brooch with a central red
    : stone (ruby?) surrounded by four diamonds.
    :
    :
    :
    : Has anyone seen these brooches and these
    : earrings earlier?
    :
    : Thanks,
    :

    : The President of India is currently making a
    : State visit to Norway - the first ever by an
    : Indian President.
    :
    : Yesterday, the traditional State banquet
    : took place at Oslo's Royal Palace.
    :
    : Nothing really new on the jewels' side
    : (Queen Sonja with the Leuchtenberg emeralds,
    : Crown Princess Mette-Marit with her usual
    : Daisy Tiara, Princess Astrid Mrs Ferner with
    : her Ruby Aigrette), but it is always a
    : pleasure to see Scandinavian pageantry!
    :
    :
    :
    : We can notice that Queen Sonja is wearing a
    : pearl bracelet with a rectangular emerald
    : and diamond clasp. She had worn this
    : bracelet at Crown Princess Victoria of
    : Sweden's wedding in 2010:
    :
    :
    :
    : I think that the emerald and diamond clasp
    : can also be mounted as the clasp of a pearl
    : choker:
