EMPRESS JOSEPHINE'S EMERALD TIARA


This emerald and diamond tiara is a part of a big emerald parure,
made for Empress Josephine by the french jeweller Bapst.
The set consists a tiara, a necklace, two brooches and earrings.

When Crown Princess Märtha gave birth to the future King Harald, her parents gave her the emerald set.
By the time Martha got it, the two teardrop-shaped emeralds had been removed and made into earrings.

The set is now worn by Queen Sonja.
When Princess Astrid was the first lady of Norway, she wore this emerald set.
