In July 2010, the royals of the world arrived in Stockholm for the celebrations of the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel. On July 18, they attended a black-tie dinner and concert on the night before the wedding. It wasn’t a tiara event, but royal ladies still managed to bring a fair amount of glitter along for the evening.

Here’s a closer look at the earrings. These are versatile: the drops can be removed and replaced with other gems, including pearl drops. Mette-Marit has also used these red drops with another, shorter pair of earrings.
