With the diamond tiara, she wore even more diamond accessories: diamond floral earrings from the Braganza parure, as well as a major diamond riviere.

She also wore the Leuchtenberg Pearl and Ruby Brooch, which was given by King Oscar I to Queen Josefina. The five pearls represent their five children.
