With the sleek, sparkling gown, Mette-Marit chose her sleekest sparkling tiara: the Diamond Daisy Bandeau. The antique tiara, which dates to 1910, was Mette-Marit’s wedding present from her in-laws, King Harald V and Queen Sonja of Norway, in August 2001. The jewel was her very first tiara, worn on her wedding day with her bridal ensemble.

For the gala dinner held at Christiansborg Palace during the Ruby Jubilee celebrations, Mette-Marit paired the tiara with two other pieces of antique jewelry. She wore Crown Princess Märtha’s Silver Wedding Earrings, a gorgeous pair of diamond chandelier earrings that originally belonged to Crown Prince Haakon’s royal grandmother. And she also added Queen Maud’s Aquamarine Brooch, a stunning royal jewel set with a sea-green aquamarine.
