Pearl tiara of Princess Maud of Wales, Queen of Norway

Pearl tiara of Princess Maud of Wales, Queen consort of Norway
This pearl and diamond tiara was given to Queen Maud as a wedding present from her parents,
King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom

The front part of the tiara can be removed and the rest can be worn in a lower version. The original version was stolen from the British jeweler Garrard's in 1993. 
Garrard's made a new one with pearls end diamonds who looked like the ones from the original tiara. So today Queen Sonja of Norway wears a copy.

Queen Sonja lent this tiara to Princess Märtha Louise for her wedding with Ari Behn.
Märtha wore the smallest version.
