Composed of an elaborate elongated design, there spectacular Diamond Earrings were originally a pair of Epaulettes that rested on the shoulders of a dress uniform. Likely royal heirlooms from the 18th century, these Epaulettes were converted into Earrings by the time of Crown Princess Victoria’s Pre-Wedding Gala in 2010, when they made a splendid pairing with an Ellie Saab Gown and the Swedish Royal Family’s Diamond Arrow.

Crown Princess Victoria later wore the Diamond Epaulette Earrings for the King’s Dinner for Nobel Laureates in 2011, and also for King Harald and Queen Sonja’s 80th Birthday Banquet in 2017, both times paired with the Baden Fringe Tiara.

The Diamond Epaulette Earrings have also been worn by Princess Madeleine, first with the Modern Fringe Tiara at King Carl XVI Gustaf’s 70th Birthday Banquet in 2016, and then with the Aquamarine Kokoshnik Tiara at the Nobel Prize Ceremony in 2019.

More recently, Crown Princess Victoria paired the Diamond Epaulette Earrings with the the Baden Fringe Tiara in a series of portraits released for her 10th Anniversary last year, a touching tribute to her Pre-Wedding Gala. There is no doubt we will continue to see these splendid Heirlooms for years to come!

In 2022, the Diamond Epaulette Earrings were worn by Queen Silvia for the first time in public for a Reception during a State Visit to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

  1. I Think Swedish Pink Topaz Parure needs to be worn by Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden

  2. I’m sure it’s just a typo but the Crown Princess will be Sweden’s third Queen Regnant. The two previous were Kristina and Ulrika Eleonora in the 17th and 18th centuries.
