6. Benedikte’s sister, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, also wore a Swedish heirloom jewel: the Baden Palmette Tiara.
5. Kelly of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha wore the family’s unusual heirloom diamond and turquoise tiara with jewels from the coordinating parure.
4. We had a rare glimpse of one tiara with royal connections: the Douglas Floral Tiara, worn by Princess Elisabeth, Duchess in Bavaria. Elisabeth was born Countess Elisabeth Douglas; her father’s family are members of the Swedish nobility. The tiara is notable because it was worn by her daughter, now Hereditary Princess Sophie of Liechtenstein, at her wedding.

2. Princess Beatrix of the Netherlands wore one of the grandest Dutch royal tiaras (and her wedding tiara), the Wurttemberg Ornate Pearl Tiara.
1. My top vote may be a bit unexpected, but hear me out: Queen Louise’s Diamond Tiara (worn by its owner, Princess Desiree) is small, and its history in the Bernadotte family isn’t as long as many other pieces, but we haven’t seen it in forever. This vote celebrates a tiara emerging from the vaults! (Also: you get a bonus Baden Fringe sighting here. You’re welcome!)
