As I suggested in an earlier thread a few months ago, I would be glad to see the Baden Fringe Tiara worn as a necklace - it was worn as a necklace by Queen Victoria of Sweden (King Gustaf V's wife, née Princess of Baden), as shown on the picture below. I think it would make a great combination with Queen Sofia's Nine-Prong Tiara.
For the second day, I would be delighted if Queen Silvia wore Princess Margaretha of Connaught's Boucheron Scarab Necklace, which was owned (and frequently worn) by Princess Lilian, Duchess of Halland, and that was bequeathed by Princess Lilian to the Queen (who has unfortunately still not worn it publicly). The Connaught Diamond Tiara or the Connaught Ruby Tiara would be a nice match with this necklace. A good option for the Queen for the 11th December.
More generally, I would love to see more jewels of the late Princess Lilian. Crown Princess Victoria could give a second outing to Princess Lilian's Laurel-wreath Tiara (pictured above, worn by Princess Lilian). I also would love to see Princess Lilian's pearl and diamond bow brooch (also visible on the picture above), or Princess Lilian's sapphire and diamond brooch (see picture below); I have not understood, when Princess Lilian's last will was disclosed, to whom these brooches were bequeathed.
Seeing Princess Sibylla's Aquamarine and Diamond Tiara would be great too. Maybe for Crown Princess Victoria this year? (it was worn by Princess Margaretha for years, and by Princess Christina for a representation dinner in March 2014)
 
And I still have not lost all hope that Queen Josefina's double-row-and drops pearl necklace could have been bought back by the King at Sotheby's recent auction on 11th November. Not very probable, but it would be a nice surprise, wouldn't it?
