Princess Ingrid Alexandra’s 18th Birthday Gifts

The Norwegian royal court has released the annual public gift list and the gifts received by Princess Ingrid Alexandra for her 18th birthday are included. They released a list and some photos this summer but this one is a little more detailed. Someone sent it to me and I realized that I never made a post about the jewelry she received like I did for her confirmation a couple of years ago so here it is.

King Harald & Queen Sonja

Diamond Ring - The ring was formerly a gift to Queen Sonja from her parents, Karl August and Dagny Haraldsen, in 1954.

Diamond Bracelet - This was originally owned by Crown Princess Märtha and then by Princess Ragnhild. The bracelet along with the earrings and necklace below are items that were returned to the mainline after Princess Ragnhild passed away in 2012 and are now being given to Princess Ingrid Alexandra.

Earrings - They belonged to Crown Princess Märtha and then to Princess Ragnhild. I’m not sure which earrings these are because they didn’t release a picture.

Necklace - This is the most exciting item to me and the person who sent me the list since it had a bunch of emojis next to it. A picture was not released so we don’t know which necklace it is just that it belonged to Queen Maud and then to Princess Ragnhild. Princess Ragnhild had several that I don’t know the provenance of like this emerald necklace and Queen Maud had several that are lost in the wind like the Pearl Necklace Tiara and the ruby necklace from Queen Victoria. If I had to guess I would say that it’s not any of those and probably a diamond rivière necklace. There are multiple ones in the family that belonged to Queen Maud and at least one that went to Princess Ragnhild but they are really impossible to tell apart so keep an eye out for Princess Ingrid Alexandra wearing one.

Sámi Parliament's Youth Policy Committee - Komsekule (a traditional Sámi design meant to offer protection) Earrings and Necklace by Juhls Silver Gallery

Norwegian Children and Youth Council - Coco Pearl Necklace by Biehl

The Crown Prince Couple’s Foundation - daisy bracelet by Georg Jensen (They didn’t release a picture of this one and Georg Jensen makes several different daisy bracelets but I assume it’s one of the classic gold with white enamel styles like these.)

Princess Ingeborg’s Pearl Circle Tiara was not included in the annual gift list which is only for public and official gifts not private ones but we know that it was given to her for her 18th birthday by Haakon, Ingeborg, and Ragnhild Lorentzen at the request of their mother, Princess Ragnhild.

Norway’s Tiaras: Empress Josephine’s Emerald Tiara (10/16)

Perhaps the most famous of Norway’s tiaras, this tiara was reportedly first owned by France’s Empress Josephine, wife of Napoleon. Made by Bapst, this tiara consists of asymetrical emerald shapes mounted in silver and gold and surrounded by diamonds, and initially came with a ring, a brooch, and a necklace. The emeralds reportedly came from Russia...which, if you know anything about gemstones, you’ll know that emeralds weren’t found in Russia until 1830,16 years after Empress Josephine’s death, throwing its origin story into doubt. Whatever the origins of this tiara, it was owned by a Josephine: Queen Josephine of Sweden. It was then passed to Josephine’s daughter-in-law, Queen Sofia, who gave this tiara to her son Prince Carl, Duke of Västergötland. Carl’s wife, Princess Ingeborg, removed the pear-shaped emerald elements and turned them into earrings. She also loaned the tiara to her daughter, Crown Princess Märtha, to wear during the coronation of King George VI. 

Circumstances forced Ingeborg to outright give the tiara to Märtha. During World War II, when Märtha and her children were leaving Europe for the United States, Ingeborg gave her daughter the tiara so Märtha could sell it if her family was desperate for cash during the war. Fortunately, that did not happen, and Märtha brought the tiara with her to Norway when the family returned in 1945. After her death, Princess Astrid wore the tiara while serving as first lady until 1968, when it was inherited by Queen Sonja. This, along with Queen Josephine’s diamond tiara, is one of two tiaras reserved for the first lady of Norway. Sonja has pulled it out for every event imaginable, and it has become her signature tiara. Her Swedish counterpart, Queen Silvia, has stated that she’s happy the emeralds are in Norway, since they suit Sonja the best. And rightfully so.
