According to Trond N. Isaksen’s blog article about Estelle Bernadotte, which was published shortly before the story which says that a Swedish RF member bought back the tiara, the complete parure was sold, though he does not name the buyer.

“The parure consisted of tiara, necklace and brooch and Estelle Bernadotte bought a ring, a bracelet and a pair of earrings to go with it. It was inherited by her eldest son, but has now been sold.”
