    Thank you Arthur I totally missed Princess Christina wearing this aquamarine tiara in 2015...here is the picture when she wore for the first time in 2014, in case you don't have it.

    : And not only Princess Madeleine, but also
    : Princess Christina, Mrs Magnusson, wore the
    : Aquamarine tiara twice in the recent past
    : (representation dinners in March 2014 and
    : February 2015).

    : There was definitely a change, as the tiara,
    : which had been kept unseen for years until
    : Crown Princess Victoria's wedding in 2010,
    : was seen since then on at least three royal
    : ladies (Princess Margaretha, Princess
    : Christina, Princess Madeleine). So far,
    : considering the very few reliable
    : information available, no option about the
    : tiara's ownership can be excluded. I hope it
    : has been bought back by the King or the
    : Bernadotte Foundation, but the possibility
    : of a loan from Princess Margaretha can not
    : be excluded (though it would be strange).
    :
    : Like Tamara, I am puzzled by the fact that,
    : while the aquamarine tiara resurfaced on
    : several royal ladies, the matching brooch
    : remained with Princess Margaretha. If the
    : tiara had been only loaned (for practical
    : safe-guarding reasons or for whatever other
    : reason) by Princess Margaretha, I guess she
    : would probably have loaned the brooch too.
    : This makes me guess the tiara has not just
    : been loaned, but probably bought by the King
    : or the Bernadotte Foundation, while the
    : brooch still waits to be bought back (who
    : knows, maybe even the King needs time to
    : collect the money required to buy the
    : brooch?). But I admit it is so far pure
    : speculation.
    :

    : Anyway, I am so happy to see this beautiful
    : tiara in its full glory again! The timeless
    : elegance of the design, the size of the
    : aquamarines and the intensity of their
    : colour are absolutely amazing!
