With the gown, Stephanie wore diamonds and sapphires from the Luxembourgish collection. Her tiara is the Chaumet Choker Tiara, with its distinctive lattice-style base. The tiara, as the name suggests, can also be taken off its frame and worn as a choker necklace. It’s usually worn with a series of round pearl toppers, but Stephanie left them off for this appearance.

She also wore another convertible jewel: the Sapphire Necklace Tiara, in its necklace setting. This diamond and sapphire piece features a series of pear-shaped diamond drops. Stephanie has worn it as both a necklace and a tiara. She completed the look with a pair of diamond and sapphire earrings from the family collection.
