Queen Silvia's Golden Wedding Brooch

Posted by Arthur on June 14, 2026, 12:14 pm

This Saturday, 13th June, the celebrations for the Golden Wedding anniversary of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia took place in Stockholm. On this occasion, Queen Silvia wore (both on her red coat for the day celebrations and on her gala dress in the evening) a big diamond brooch made of a diamond knot topping a double portrait of herself and of her husband the King - obviously a very appropriate choice for such an occasion! I have no information about this brooch, which looks stylistically antique (by "antique", I mean 19th/early 20th century), and which I do not remember to have seen earlier. Could it be an older brooch from another royal couple, whose portraits have been replaced by those of the current royal couple? Has anyone seen a similar-looking brooch on a previous Queen or Princess of Sweden?

Imagine if Queen Silvia would wear this "thing" in the future instead of the portrait of King Carl Gustaf

I must see... I love this gesture. nice diamond frame but I am also curious where this frame or diamonds come from. I found some more information on the website of Court Jeweller: https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/2026/06/glamorous-glitter-to-celebrate-a-golden-wedding-anniversary-in-sweden.html#more-68571 It's a new brooch made by the Thailand based jweller Beauty Gems ( according to https://www.instagram.com/theroyalsandi/ ) Previous Message Imagine if Queen Silvia would wear this "thing" in the future instead of the portrait of King Carl Gustaf
