For the morning events on the first day of the visit, Queen Sonja wore one of her many sets of ultra-modern jewelry. This suite includes a necklace and earrings.

And Princess Astrid wore mostly simple gold jewelry — with the exception of the cherry brooch pinned to her left shoulder!
For the evening’s banquet, the ladies brought out the tiaras. (The photos that follow are embedded; refresh as needed.)
Queen Sonja wore one of the family’s big sparklers: the full version of (the replica of) Queen Maud’s Pearl Tiara. (Read about the famous theft of the original tiara over here.)
Crown Princess Mette-Marit wore her wedding tiara. I think the tiara-wearer match here is just about perfect, as always: M-M loves a sleek, cool look, and this tiara fits the bill. But I don’t like it nearly as much when it’s worn as a headband.
Princess Astrid went for one of her wackier sparklers: the diamond wing aigrette. (Read about this, and all of the other tiaras in the Norwegian collection, over here!)
