Modern Fringe Tiara
Delicate, radiant and endlessly versatile, the modern fringe tiara stands apart with its refined
design of upright diamond rays, echoing a sunburst, but with a softer, more feminine silhouette.
Crafted in the late 19th or early 20th century, this tiara can transform seamlessly into a
necklace, adding to its charm and functionality. Though its origins remain a mystery, it's
believed to have once belonged to the earls of Tankerville and found its way into the Swedish
royal vaults when King Carl XVI Gustaf gifted it to Queen Sylvia for their 10th wedding anniversary
in 1986. Unlike traditional Russian-inspired fringe tiaras, which feature sharp, rigid spikes,
this modern version offers a gentler flow and more wearable elegance, ideal for a modern
princess. Princess Madeleine began wearing the tiara in 2001 at the wedding of Crown
Prince Haakon and has since made it a signature piece for state dinners, Nobel Prize ceremonies
and royal weddings. Gifted by her parents for her own 2013 wedding, the tiara holds
deep emotional significance, and with Madeleine's daughters growing up fast,
as we may not have seen the last royal bride crowned in this sparkling heirloom.
NAPOLEONIC AMETHYST PERUER The Napoleonic Amethyst Peruer is one of the oldest,
most storied treasures in the Swedish royal vault, lavish, imperial and shrouded in history.
Originally belonging to Empress Josephine of France, the Peruer journeyed through her
Duchess of Leuchtenberg to Queen Josefina of Sweden. Its dramatic amethysts, believed in
ancient lore to ward off intoxication and calm the mind, are framed in glittering diamonds,
forming a set that includes a grand necklace-turned-tiara, earrings, two reworked
bracelets and brooches. Queen Louise was the first royal photographed in this suite in 1938.
It has since adorned Queen Sylvia, Crown Princess Victoria and, notably,
Princess Madeleine, who wore the full Peruer for the 2017 Nobel Prize ceremony.
Princess Sophia has also stepped into its aura, echoing the lineage of women before her. Its
heavy elegance once overwhelmed Queen Sylvia, until she reimagined the necklace as a tiara.
Mysteriously regal, the amethyst's deep hue is said to offer clarity and spiritual protection,
but with a past woven through empresses, queens and state visits, could this Peruer carry more
than just beauty? One royal rumour still lingers, untold and locked within its violet glow.
Once crafted to rest on royal shoulders, the Swedish diamond epaulette earrings carry a
legacy as old as the 18th century. Originally part of military dress epaulettes, symbols of honour
and command, they were transformed into earrings just in time for Crown Princess Victoria's 2010
pre-wedding gala. Draped in elysabe and crowned with the diamond arrow, Victoria revived the
heirlooms in spectacular style. Since then, these elongated cascades of diamonds have
graced Sweden's royal women. Victoria chose them again for Nobel celebrations and regal birthday
banquets, often pairing them with the stately Baird & Fringe tiara. Princess Madeleine added
her own chapter, first dazzling in them at her father's 70th birthday banquet with the modern
Fringe tiara, and later during the 2019 Nobel Prize ceremony, her aquamarine kokoschnik tiara gleaming
above. Even Queen Sylvia wore them publicly for the first time during a 2022 state visit to Jordan,
an elegant late debut, but with so much history and quiet power in every sparkle.
Could these earrings be destined for a future Queen's coronation moment?
Drenched in history and glinting with quiet opulence, the Swedish processional necklace,
Intorgs smycke, is a treasure threaded through generations. Created from pale blue Ceylon
sapphires, pearls and diamonds set in gold, this regal piece was likely a national gift
to Crown Princess Victoria upon her 1881 wedding. Though intended for her ceremonial procession
into Stockholm, curiously there are no images of Victoria ever wearing it. It wasn't until the
1950s that the necklace emerged on Queen Louise, who often paired it with the Baird & Fringe tiara
for grand banquets and royal galas. In time, it adorned Princess Christina at King Carl XVI
Gustaf's wedding, graced Princess Lillian and gleamed on Queen Sylvia during state visits to
Japan and the Netherlands. Crown Princess Victoria revived its prominence, notably at the Nobel
Prize ceremony in 2006. Then came Princess Madeleine, elegant and modern, who wore it with
regal finesse at her sister's royal wedding and the 2008 Nobels. But there's one peculiar mystery
this necklace still holds, one no royal portrait has ever quite explained. Bud and diamond rose
brooch. Delicate yet dazzling, the Baird and diamond rose brooch whispers a story of royal
romance and inheritance. Crafted in the latter half of the 19th century, the brooch features a
blooming diamond rose on a short stem framed by leaves and buds, each petal encrusted with
brilliant cut diamonds set in silver and gold. It is believed to have been a wedding gift from
Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna to her granddaughter Princess Louise of Prussia in 1856 when she
married Grand Duke Frederick the Rest of Baden. This floral masterpiece journeyed through
generations, eventually reaching Queen Victoria of Sweden, who ensured its preservation through
the Bernadotte Jewellery Foundation. Though it lay hidden for decades, Queen Sylvia revived it
in the 1980s, wearing it tucked into her hair. Yet it is Princess Madeleine who gave the brooch
its modern magic. She wore it in her hair at Nobel Prize banquets, during the 2010 Royal Wedding
Gala, and most recently at the Golden Jubilee Opera Gala. To Madeleine, the brooch became more
than heirloom, it became personal. But one question remains, why does this single rose continue to
follow her through Sweden's most treasured moments? Or perhaps, it's guarding a memory only she knows.
Cameo Parure. There's one jewel that tells more than just a story, carries centuries of royal
sentiment. The Cameo Parure. A French masterpiece from 1809, it was a gift from Napoleon to Empress
Josephine, later inherited by Queen Josefina of Sweden. With Roman myth scenes carved by masters
like Girametti and Riga, each Cameo floats in golden frames lined with seed pearls. Elegant,
historic, and deeply personal. Through time, the Parure passed from Princess Eugenie to Prince
Eugen, and then to Princess Sybilla, who wore it with grace until grief dimmed its glow.
Then came the tradition, Bridal Tiara, Princess Birgitta, Princess Désirée, Queen Sylvia,
who wore it at her 1976 wedding and later for state visits. In 2010, Crown Princess Victoria
revived its grandeur at her Royal Wedding. But in 2018, it was Princess Madeleine who wore the
earrings and bracelet for her daughter, Adrienne's christening. A quiet, emotional tribute. To her,
the Cameo wasn't just history, it was a heritage. And yet, the full Parure hasn't been seen on her.
Not yet. Connaut Diamond Tiara. Madeleine of Sweden, then a radiant young princess,
stepped into the spotlight at Crown Princess Victoria's wedding in 2010.
Her diamond tiara choice caught more than just the light. She wore the Connaut Diamond Tiara,
a century-old masterpiece steeped in royal legacy. Gifted in 1905 to Princess Margaret of Connaut,
on her marriage to the future King Gustav VI, Adolf, the tiara is a poetic design of five
diamond loops shaped like forget-me-not wreaths, interlaced with inverted bows and delicate pendants,
crafted by E. Wolfe & Co. Its charm lies in its versatility. Worn as a tiara,
necklace, or even separated into earrings. After Margaret's early death, the tiara passed through
generations, worn by Princess Sybilla, Princess Christina on her wedding day, and even Princess
Lillian. Queen Sylvia made it her signature piece, but when Madeleine chose it for the 2016 Nobel
Prize ceremony, and again as a necklace the next day, she revived a sentimental heirloom for a
modern era. And now, whispers linger, will she pass it on to her daughter, continuing the legend?
Pendant Earrings
Princess Madeleine debuted the elegant earrings with aquamarine pendants at a royal dinner hosted
by King Carl Gustav and Queen Sylvia, just before her own wedding at Stockholm's Grand Hotel.
Suspended from delicate diamond studs, the aquamarine shimmered with the soft blue glow
of a northern summer sky, serene, regal, and quietly arresting. But what makes these earrings
remarkable is their interchangeable design. Two years later, she reappeared in the same earrings,
now graced with luminous pearls, at the formal gathering of the Swedish Academy.
That versatility allowed her to match them seamlessly with either the Swedish aquamarine
kokoschnik tiara for a state banquet, or a sleek gown at a Childhood Foundation charity dinner.
Madeleine's pendant earrings are more than accessories,
they are a masterclass in royal adaptability, weaving sentiment with ceremony. But the real
question is, what version will she choose next, and for what royal moment still to come?
