@01189998819991197253Sheldon your lily of the valley tiara is beautiful. My favourite flower!

Your mam's jewels are gorgeous too! We'll all look the part on the day.

@eggandonion I missed your comment! Have you got an inkling what Royal Hat you might need/want?

@Lola001 Welcome!

@MotherofPearl I like that a lot too. I've got a wool coat in that beautiful rich red (more like the colour on the first two photos) and I love wearing it, although I don't have much cause to nowadays.

Yes. I think she was exceptionally happy for Frederik (and EBG) and it showed in the jewellery she wore, as well as the romantic colours.

@Chulainn - Queen Josefina of Norway's tiara ✔️

Thank you.

Pm @Maireas 😘

Mam has a beady on borrowing Kate’s engagement ring. She always loved it. I might have a bit of a bugger getting it off her again though. Just saying..

Maireas · 04/03/2023 16:58

Sheldon's Mam: Kate's engagement ring ✔️

Pavlovna diamond perhaps?

A tiny pop of colour? To go with my cheeks if it gets post menopausal tropical? (In reality I am more foushty beetroot but I like this a tiny bit 🤣)

so. Mines.

Most definitely 😃!

You're getting a good selection, there!
You've got to wear it all for the Coronation!

I’ll be weighed down! 🤣

Maireas · 04/03/2023 17:51

Nonsense! Just look at Queen Mary in her prime!

Yep Mary rivalled a Christmas tree at times. 😂

Serenster · 04/03/2023 19:42

I really can’t remember what tiara I’d already nabbed, but if no-one has claimed Queen Alia’s Cartier tiara (seen here on Rania) then I’d like that for my coronation outfit, please Maireas!

Another ☘️ lurker here! I’ve yet to choose a tiara…have been keeping an eye out, but leave yet to make a final call. The Tiarapedia on the Court Jeweller website that someone mentioned on here a few threads ago is fascinating, so thank you to whoever recommended that!!

Maireas · 04/03/2023 20:07

@Serenster - you have the Chaumet Bourbon Parma tiara...
Now Queen Alia's Cartier tiara ✔️
Rania looks so pretty there.

Maireas · 04/03/2023 20:10

Evening and welcome, @maisiedaisy64
That tiarapedia is well loved on here.
Also, many of us seem to originate from the Celtic fringe!

@Maireas I saw this and thought of you - add it to your list if it's not been bagsied already Smile
I wonder if you look like Queen Sonja when you go to the supermarket? Grin

pussycatinfluffyslippers · 04/03/2023 20:22

And I'd like this one, if pos? 🤞

Serenster · 04/03/2023 20:23

@Serenster - you have the Chaumet Bourbon Parma tiara...

Oooh, do I?? Good choice, earlier me! 🤣

Why, yes I do! How well you know me 😉!
That's a lovely emerald parure. I do like an emerald or three.

Ooh, I love that website!.

@Maireas I think I signed up some time ago for the Norwegian emerald parure? If no longer available will go for the Swedish Aquamarine tiara.

Maireas · 04/03/2023 20:41

I beg your pardon, @StartupRepair -
I have the spreadsheet in front of me, and you are indeed the proud owner of the Norwegian Emerald Parure.
Also the Devonshire tiara.

Maireas · 04/03/2023 20:43

Now adding -
@StartupRepair - Swedish Aquamarine tiara

✔️

pussycatinfluffyslippers · 04/03/2023 20:44

Sorry @StartupRepair I didn't mean to raid your safe. Smile

@Maireas How about www.tiara-mania.com/2011/11/seven-emeralds-tiara.html this one for you instead? It's quite subtle...

SuperSange · 04/03/2023 20:46

That's like a massive diamond scrunchie!
