Thank you for these photos MimiHabsburg. The cameo tiara, while possibly not as wearable today as the Swedish cameo tiara, is a handsome jewel, but I think the necklace would look heavy and busy by modern standards. I am intrigued that there do not seem to be photos showing other Prussian Queens or German Empresses wearing the diamond and pearl tiara. It is beautiful. Nor do I think I have seen photos of the Empresses wearing the emerald suite. What a shame colour photography had not been developed when the photos were taken.
