To me it doesn’t seem such a surprise that we haven’t seen this tiara again by now, as I don’t think that two years is such a long time. They probably wouldn’t want to be seen as greedily grabbing at their dead relatives jewels. So I believe that the NRF will let the tiara lie in the vault for several more years before it is worn again.
Maybe they will even keep it for Ingrid Alexandra

: This State banquet makes me think about the
: jewels of the late Princess Ragnhild of
: Norway, Mrs Lorentzen (eldest sister of King
: Harald V and of Princess Astrid, Mrs
: Ferner).
:
: It was said that Queen Maud's diamond tiara,
: worn throughout her life by Princess
: Ragnhild, would revert to the main line of
: the Royal Family (i.e. to the King).
:
: Princess Ragnhild died two years ago (16th
: September 2012), but so far, we have still
: not seen the tiara again.
:
: Do you think we will see Queen Maud's
: diamond tiara again? How reliable is the
: information that the main royal jewels of
: the King's sisters should revert to him
: after their death?
: Trond Norén Isaksen's blog is very
: affirmative about this family agreement (he
: had personal talks with Princess Astrid, who
: explicitely told him that her turquoise and
: diamond parure and the Vasa tiara would go
: to the King after her death, but I do not
: know if he had similar talks with Princess
: Ragnhild):

: 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:
