Re: Is not the Swedish aquamarine tiara of Madeleine... Archived Message

It has always been said that the aquamarine bandeau tiara, Princess Madeleine's 18th birthday gift from her parents, was worn by Queen (then Crown Princess) Louise in the 1920s and 30s, although I've never found an original, reliable source for this information.
Style-wise, it would certainly make sense to date it back to the 1920s and worn low on the forehead.

: It looks very "modern" - not 19th
