    Princess Christina does not have tiara in her personal collection anymore, since the one she had was stolen.

    But, except for tiaras, she has a nice collection of jewels: necklaces, brooches... Not a huge collection, but a nice one anyway!

    She owns several jewels of sapphires and diamonds:





    She regularly wears an impressive diamond choker with a large, garland-style diamond clasp at the front (possibly bearing the monogram "O2", for King Oskar II?):




    The clasp of this choker was formerly worn as a brooch:



    Ropes of coloured pearls:



    A diamond floral spray brooch:



    A pair of diamond foliate brooches:




    An antique pearl and diamond cluster brooch:



    A large necklace of pearls and pink stones:



    A multigem necklace:

    Unfortunately, I have no information about the origins of these jewels, and I do not remember having seen them on other Swedish royal ladies before Princess Christina. Some of them look of antique style, other look more modern, but I have no clue about the origin.
