Our countdown of the best tiara moments from Crown Princess Victoria’s royal wedding arrives at a perhaps controversial pick: the diamonds and pearls worn by Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway!

The wedding marked Mette-Marit’s debut in a major Norwegian royal tiara: Queen Maud’s Pearl Tiara. She wore the smaller setting of the diadem, which was made as an exact replica of the original after it was stolen in the 1990s.

Mette-Marit wore the tiara tipped back slightly, creating an irregular halo of diamonds and pearls around her face. I know many of our readers dislike tiaras worn this way, but for me, the placement really worked on this particular occasion.

I also didn’t mind the haphazard arrangement of the pearls themselves — I thought the “messier” mode for the tiara worked beautifully with Mette-Marit’s hairstyle.

With the tiara, Mette-Marit also wore additional diamond and pearl jewels, including pearl drop earrings, a pearl ring (the same one, I believe, worn by her mother-in-law at the previous evening’s gala), and a very important family brooch.

This is the Drapers’ Company Brooch, which was one of Queen Maud’s wedding gifts back in 1896. The diamond and pearl brooch is often worn with the diamond and pearl tiara, almost as a sort of married parure.

Mette-Marit finished off her jewelry ensemble with a gorgeous diamond brooch on her right wrist.

Here’s one more view of the bracelet — and you’ll also note another ring peeking out here.

Here’s a look at Mette-Marit’s entire ensemble for the wedding. While lots of outfits from this particular occasion were memorable, this one ended up having a pretty big cultural impact: it’s rumored to have been an inspiration for Disney’s Princess Elsa from Frozen! You’re welcome, parents around the world.

Ten years ago this week, royals from around the world gathered in Stockholm to celebrate the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden — and they brought along their best tiaras and jewels for the occasion! This week, we’re counting down the ten best tiara moments from the Swedish royal wedding, starting with…

Princess Martha Louise of Norway in the Norwegian Amethyst Parure Tiara!

Princess Martha Louise gave the family’s convertible amethyst tiara its best gala outing to date at this royal wedding. It’s not one of her usual diadems — the tiara is more regularly worn by her sister-in-law, Crown Princess Mette-Marit.

Here’s a close-up of the tiara from this wedding, where you can see that the wrap around the base is meant for a person with lighter hair (like Mette-Marit). No bother, though — the hairstyle Martha Louise chose camouflaged the base of the tiara entirely, and also managed to provide a gorgeous background for the tiara itself.

She also wore several other pieces from the parure, including the earrings and the second necklace setting from the suite.

Here’s a look at her complete ensemble. You’ll also spot an amethyst ring on her right hand!
