Queen Emma's diamond tiara also has an option for one or three central stones to be replaced by other colour stones. I would love to see it with emeralds or sapphires. Considering the emerald diadem has various emeralds set in diamonds of a similar size i think it might be easy to do.
I don't think it was ever discussed but I suppose the necklace is set with sapphires from the wedding gift parure? As far as I know Wilhelmina only wore it with pearls. Juliana started wearing it with sapphires.
Great photos!
Do you think the 5 elements from Queen Wilhelmina's wedding gift parure could be used to give the current emerald tiara another version?
That would require 5 elements to make 5 prongs. If the sapphires from those elements can be used there it would lead to a much more appealing diadem than this one.
I made also some photos that night.
