Continuing our marvel at the jewels of last night’s Nobel … time for a closer look at Princess Madeleine’s tiara, jewels, and gown!

Madeleine wore the Connaught Diamond Tiara, which is over a century old. It originally belonged to Madeleine’s great-grandmother, Princess Margaret of Connaught.

Here’s another angle on the tiara (and a good look at Madeleine’s hairstyle). Madeleine has only worn the tiara once before: at the wedding of her sister, Crown Princess Victoria, in 2010. Last year, Crown Princess Victoria wore the tiara at the Nobels.

Madeleine wore diamond and pearl drop earrings with the tiara.

And, appropriately, she also wore the family’s diamond and pearl bow brooch with the pearl pendant to secure her Order of Seraphim sash.

Here’s a closer look at Madeleine’s royal family order badge. See how the portrait of King Carl XVI Gustaf is different than the one we saw on Princess Sofia? The diamond frames around each portrait are also slightly unique.

And finally, a good look at Madeleine’s gown, which was designed by Fadi el Khoury.
Nobel Banquet 2016: Princess Sofia of Sweden

Hooray — a brand-new tiara on Princess Sofia at this year’s Nobel Prize ceremony! Here are close-up views of her jewels and gown from the banquet.

Sofia wore the smaller Cut-Steel Tiara, which uses highly-polished steel to sparkle rather than gemstones. The piece has a long row of small steel spheres set atop a latticework base. Until now, Crown Princess Victoria was the only member of the Swedish royal family who had worn this tiara in public.

Sofia paired the tiara with the diamond and emerald earrings she also wore at last year’s Nobels. The earrings feature a pave-set diamond stud with additional diamond leaves, a pendant of three round diamonds, and emerald drops.

To secure the sash of the Order of the Seraphim, Sofia wore a diamond brooch. We don’t have a super-clear view of the piece, unfortunately, but you can see some of the details above…

…and also in this image. The piece appears to have floral elements in its design.

Sofia also wore her father-in-law’s Royal Family Order. Unlike the British RFOs, each Swedish badge features a different portrait of the king. Sofia’s features a more contemporary portrait of Carl Gustaf.

And here’s a look at Sofia’s gown, which was designed by the House of Dagmar. The color’s great on her, but I’m not sure I’m sold on the fabric or the silhouette.
