    Thank you Arthur

    Trond Norén Isaksen´s seems to be the best source. Aftonbladet only talked about a tiara and so did svensk damtidning.

    cant wait to see it and i truly hope its true that the set is bought back to the family.

    The king seems to think these kind of items has a value to stay in the family

    : Hello Josefine,
    :
    : According to Trond Norén Isaksen, the
    : initial parure, as reported in Queen Sofia
    : of Sweden's documents, consisted in a tiara,
    : a necklace and a brooch. Estelle Bernadotte
    : later bought a ring, a pair of earrings and
    : a bracelet to go with it.
    :
    : Still according to Trond Norén Isaksen,
    : Countess Christine Bernadotte af Wisborg
    : (Estelle Bernadotte's daughter-in-law) told
    : him that she and her husband Folke Jr., in
    : consultation with their children, decided to
    : sell the parure, preferably to the Swedish
    : royal family as they wanted the jewellery to
    : remain in the Bernadotte family. The Swedish
    : court contacted the Norwegian royal family,
    : who was interested and bought the parure.
    : But the question remains unsolved why the
    : Norwegian royal family would have bought a
    : parure that they would have never worn
    : since.
    :
    : Kjell Arne Totland, former royal reporter
    : for the weekly magazine Se og Hřr , when
    : interviewed by the Norwegian TV channel TV2
    : Nyhetskanalen following the birth of
    : Princess Estelle, stated that the parure had
    : been bought by the main line of the Swedish
    : royal family. But we do not know how he got
    : this information, and whether it is reliable
    : or not.
    :
    : In both hypotheses, the full parure seems to
    : have remained undivided.

    : Of course, it would be strange if the
    : Swedish or the Norwegian royal family had
    : paid out a fair amount of money to buy a
    : parure, just to keep it locked in the vaults
    : afterwards...

    : The tiara belonged one to Queen Sofia of
    : Sweden and then given to Folke Bernadotte.
    : His wife Estlle wore the tiara.
    :
    : At the time of Princess Estelle birth it was
    : reported that the tiara was bought back to
    : the swedish royal family. How it was bought
    : back seems to differ.
    :
    : My quastian was it only the tiara that was
    : bought or are there other items togather
    : with the tiara?
    :
    : does this necklace belong to the tiara?
