Frankly IMHO both current 'button' tiaras are not a success on any wearer. The 4 button does not work at all as a tiara. It would look wonderful as hair ornaments. The six button would look better on a different frame and reduced to five buttons and one as a brooch or pendant. Just a thought.

Actually Queen Silvia has never worn the four-button tiara and the six-button tiara only once and that was not very successful Previous Message
At that time she had first access to the entire Royal collection. She later received the tiara's given to Madeleine and Sofia as well as the ruby tiara that was bought back by the King. She had the frame of the Prong tiara altered so it stopped hurting her and she rediscovered the steal cut tiara as well as starting to wear the button tiara's (im still in favor of resetting the larger one with only five buttons and using the sixth as a brooch or pendant on a necklace).

Did Queen Silvia receive anything new upon marriage? Previous Message
They all received a tiara but the origin was quite different.
Princess Margaretha, Mrs. Ambler.
The aquamarine kokoshnik from her mother.
Princess Birgitta of Sweden and Hohenzollern.
The new created pearl tiara from her grandfather.
Princess Désirée, Baroness Silfverschiöld.
The diamond tiara from her steph-grandmother.
Princess Christina, Mrs. Magnuson.
A diamond tiara from her godmother.
