For the past several years, Queen Silvia has been alternating between two tiaras — Queen Sofia’s Tiara and the Leuchtenberg Sapphire Tiara — for the Nobels. It makes things a bit predictable, but at least both tiaras are major pieces! This year, it was the Leuchtenberg’s turn.

…and here’s the necklace and the brooch. (I did a post with clearer close-ups of this set earlier, if you’re interested!)

Here’s Silvia’s RFO badge. Again, different portrait of King Carl XVI Gustaf, different diamond frame.

And here’s the dress. There are a LOT of sequins involved, and I don’t love the way it pulls focus from the jewels. But the silhouette does look comfortable, so there’s that!
