Creation: This tiara was made in 1962 from three brooches.  The central brooch belonged to Queen Alexandrine of Denmark and the two side pieces were inherited by Queen Ingrid from Baron Didrik Bildt.  It can still be worn as separate brooches and the diamond of the central flower is interchangeable with an emerald or a pearl.
 
Materials: diamonds set in gold and silver with an optional emerald or pearl
