    I agree it would be lovely to see again the Connaught Scarab necklace, which had been so frequently worn by Princess Lilian. As far as I remember, Princess Lilian, in her will, had specifically bequested this necklace to Queen Silvia. It would make a very nice match, I think, with the Connaught Ruby tiara. Maybe both jewels are too "small" for the Nobel gala on 10th December, but they could be a good choice for the Queen for the "day after" dinner at the Royal Palace on 11th December.

    For the Queen, Queen Sofia's Nine-Prong tiara or the Leuchtenberg sapphires are the most plausible options, but I would be glad to see the Queen pick up something less expected: the Cameo Parure, or the Amethyst set. Or, as I suggested last year, the Baden Fringe tiara, but worn as a necklace (Queen Victoria wore it that way): it would match perfectly, I think, with the Nine-Prong tiara. Anyway, whatever jewels Queen Silvia chooses to wear, I am sure she will be stunning!

    For Crown Princess Victoria, I would enjoy to see Princess Lilian's Laurel tiara again, it is so lovely and suits Victoria very well. Or the Connaught diamond tiara. Maybe with the (too-rarely seen) sapphire, pearl and diamond necklace presented by King Gustaf V to Queen Victoria as wedding gift.
    Of course, the best surprise would be to see Crown Princess Victoria wear Princess Sibylla's Aquamarine Kokoshnik (supposed to belong to Princess Margaretha, but which was recently seen at least twice on Princess Christina)!

    For Princess Sofia, I hesitate between her wedding tiara, and another tiara from the Royal collection. The Four-Button tiara would look great on her black hair. If she opts for her wedding tiara, one of Queen Silvia's modern emerald set could be a possible stylistic match with this tiara.
