The Modern Fringe Tiara


On June 8th, Princess Madeleine of Sweden wed Chris O'Neill which was a two-day event attended by many royals from other countries. Despite the modernity of the service, the wedding was rife with romantic symbolism. My favourite was the myrtle that has been a tradition of Swedish royal brides. The Cameo tiara was a no-show in the wedding, Princess Madeleine chose to wear the Modern Fringe tiara (with orange blossoms).

There's not much history for this piece yet, as it is a rather new addition to the collection.What we do know is that it's a very versatile piece. It can turn into a necklace, and has been work reversed on several occasions. According to royal court presses, it is a "private tiara", which I assume makes it a private property of Queen Silvia and not by the family foundation. 

It also happens to be Princess Madeleine's favourite tiara, as she has appeared wearing it on many occasions. As much as I would've liked to have seen her wear the Cameo tiara as her wedding tiara, it comes as no surprise that she would wear her favourite sparkler.
