Royals

Ok, I've got some random pics of royals where I cannot find a category to put them into, so they're all getting posted here. Enjoy!

A royal portrait, with, from left to right, Prince Carl Philip of Sweden, Queen Silvia and King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, and Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden.

From left to right, Hereditary Prince Guillaume and Princess Stephanie of Luxembourg, Prince Daniel and Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, Queen Mathilde and King Philippe of Belgium, and Crown Prince Haakon of Norway.

The Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, at a court ball, wearing a diamond and ruby parure that belonged, in part, to Queen Marie Antoinette of France.

The Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary, wearing diamond stars in the hair that she was known for.

The Empress Marie Louise, consort to Napoleon I of France, in an 1812 portrait by Robert Lefevre.

Queen Letizia and King Felipe of Spain, then Crown Prince and Princess, at the abdication of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands.

Beautifully Different Tiaras

A Chaumet diamond ice frost tiara from 1904.

A gold and diamond headdress from India, 19th century.

An emerald and diamond Bazuband, Persian. I think this is meant to sit across your forehead and partially obscure your eyes.

This tiara is in the collection of the British royal family (come on, Princess William, wear it already!). It was presented to Queen Victoria and placed among the Indian Collection belonging to the crown by King George V in 1924. It is made with beautiful cabochon rubies, gold and pearls.

A belle epoque diamond, emerald and pearl tiara. These types of tiaras always make me laugh, as it looks like the owner simply threw all their jewels into one piece, making for a sort of awkward tiara. You would feel like a grand Empress if you wore it, though!

A brass scroll tiara made by the wire work master, Alexander Calder. Circa 1938.

An amethyst and diamond tiara. I wish I had more info on this one, but I have to assume it is more modern.

A tightly packed tiara fully of colored stones! I don't have more info on this one, sadly, but it is quite unusual.

Seriously, like the best crown ever! A diamond (or paste, not sure), star crown.

A winged tiara by Henry Wilson, 1908.

Colorful Diadems

The aquamarine and diamond tiara of Queen Elizabeth II.

A diamond and pear-shaped amethyst tiara by Cartier.

A diamond and peridot tiara, 1825.

A variation of the diamond and peridot tiara above, but with the large pear-shaped peridots removed.

The bridal crown of Empress Marie Louise of France, second wife of Napoleon I.

A diamond and emerald tiara, with oriental cabochon emeralds  surmounting the design. This was worn by a young Queen Victoria, but no subsequent queen seems to have worn it. Maybe Princess Catherine will!

A minor noble woman, a pic I found in a Swedish royalty magazine. She is wearing a super modern diamond festoon tiara, with pale colored multicolored stones, possibly sapphires.

Colorful Tiaras

A tiara set with large, deep purple amethysts.

A diamond and amethyst tiara, laying atop it's own concept drawing. It is shown here as a necklace, but can be converted easily into a tiara.

A modern cut aquamarine and diamond tiara. This tiara is by Cartier, and it's interesting as Queen Elizabeth II has two dress clips by Cartier that perfectly match this design, although this tiara is not in Her Majesty's collection.

A diamond and ruby spinel comb.

A diamond and emerald tiara formerly belonging to the Countess of Rosse. The central element can be removed and worn as a brooch.

A modern and openwork design of silver and cabochon and baroque pink stones.

The Oriental Circlet of Queen Victoria. It originally contained opals, but when Alexandra, the Princess of Wales acceded to the throne and inherited this piece, she has the opals replaced with rubies, as opals are superstitiously bad luck when worn by women.

A petite diamond and sapphire circlet worn by a young Queen Victoria.

A diamond and spinel tiara in a very worked, complicated design.
