There are quite a few: 1 Emeralds (the originals) 2 Pearls 3 Turquoise 4 Blue Topaz 5 Citrine or yellow Topaz 6 Amethyst And she has worn the piece without any tops just all in diamonds. Pity the tiara was not set in the current way for her wedding because that was the one time it did not look that good. I love how she now combines it with pieces from the family collection.

And its so simple: using different precious stones or pearls on top creates a completely different look and makes it all the more wearable and versatile. Also most (semi) precious stones are not that expensive. Clever lady!

The stones are not very transparent. Could they be amber?

Considering other semi-precious stones she could use, I hope she will also purchase garnet drops for her tiara. I love garnets, and she lacks a red option for her tiara.

Thank you Josefine for all the wonderfull pics. This is my favourite modern tiara, it has so many possible options and looks beautiful in every single one. Curiously enough I actually did not like the first version as bridal coronet (sort of...) with the emeralds.

I agree. With the Emerald setting it did not convince me as a bridal tiara - also because i was placed poorly - but it has since evolved into a very versatile piece.
