Hi Andrew!
Yep and you and I have discussed Sweden’s tragic emerald situation several times, how Silvia’s modern emerald pieces leave us cold and how they lack an emerald tiara to wear with that grand emerald necklace and brooch. Even over in Norway, Crown Princess Sonja showed some ingenuity by wearing a pearl and emerald bracelet as a tiara in her younger years, even when she had access to the emerald parure.

The Swedish Royals have an absolutely amazing jewel collection which they wear often, beautifully, and somewhat interestingly.
However, unlike their Danish or Dutch friends, they have rarely adapted old jewels into new configurations.
There are beautiful Sapphire, Aquamarine, and Opal brooches that could either be hung from a diamond chains, or inserted centrally into multistrand pearl necklaces (think - Diana's pearl and sapphire choker).
Additionally, there are rarely worn emerald pieces that really should be made into a tiara.
I wonder if there is a lack of ingenuity, because there certainly isn't a lack of appreciation!
