While the majority of the Nobel Prizes are awarded in Stockholm, the Peace Prize is given every year in Oslo. The Norwegian royals attend the ceremony each year; here’s a look at the jewels that Queen Sonja and Crown Princess Mette-Marit wore for the occasion.

To welcome this year’s winner, President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia, to the Royal Palace in Oslo, Mette-Marit wore a pair of earrings set with multi-colored gemstones. The earrings are deliberately mismatched. Queen Sonja has a similar pair.

Queen Sonja wore gold jewelry: earrings, necklace, bracelets, and a brooch. Even her dress has a golden belt embellishment.

She kept the same jewelry on for the official awarding of the Peace Prize later the same day.

Mette-Marit, though, changed both her outfit and her jewelry. She swapped the earrings out for this pair of embellished hoops.

And here you can see the diamond ring on her left hand. (This also gives another good angle on her headpiece, which I actually really like.)

Believe it or not, we’ve still not finished our Nobel coverage! Stay tuned for more from Norway!

We’ve got one more tiara to round out our coverage of the Swedish portion of the Nobel Prize festivities! Here’s a look at the gown and jewels worn by Countess Bettina Bernadotte.

Bettina is a daughter of the late Count Lennart Bernadotte and his second wife, Countess Sonja. (Lennart was the son of Prince Wilhelm of Sweden and Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna of Russia.) Here you get a good look at Bettina’s unusual tiara, which features multi-colored gemstones sitting atop a tall, modern diamond base.

And here’s a look at Bettina’s entire ensemble. That’s it for this year’s Nobels in Sweden — stay tuned tomorrow for jewels from the Norwegian Peace Price events!

The Nobel celebrations were still going strong in Stockholm on Sunday, and we got even more tiaras and jewels at the annual King’s Dinner! Here’s a look at the glitter on display.

With her red gown, Queen Silvia wore Queen Sofia’s Tiara (aka the “Nine Prong”), a diamond riviere with a pendant drop, the Karl Johan Earrings, and the family’s diamond and ruby cluster brooch.

Crown Princess Victoria wore the Boucheron Laurel Wreath Tiara (a piece she now owns personally, having inherited it from the late Princess Lilian). She also accessorized her Jenny Packham gown with diamond earrings and a diamond rosette brooch from the family collection.

Princess Madeleine wore not one but two tiaras for the dinner! On her head, she wore the Modern Fringe Tiara; around her neck, she wore the Connaught Diamond Tiara in its necklace form. (I think it gets lost a bit in the dress, unfortunately.) She’s also wearing the Vasa Earrings and the family’s diamond bow brooch.

And, drumroll: it’s another new tiara for Princess Sofia! She wore the Diamond Four Button Tiara with the small diamond earrings that came from Queen Josefina’s diamond stomacher. She’s also wearing the same diamond brooch she wore at Saturday’s ceremony and banquet.
