The Crown Princess of Sweden celebrates her 47th birthday tomorrow. It’s hard to believe that Victoria has been wearing tiaras for almost three decades, but when you survey the sheer number of sparklers that Victoria has sported in that time, it’s easier to wrap your head around. From tiny hair ornaments to magnificent heirlooms, Victoria has worn eleven fantastic royal tiaras so far–with the promise of more in the future, too.

The Early Favorites

Scandinavian princesses traditionally receive a tiara as an eighteenth-birthday gift, so that they’re officially ready to attend gala functions with the rest of the family. For her milestone birthday in the summer of 1995, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia gave a tiny diamond and sapphire tiara to Crown Princess Victoria. She wore it often in her teenage years, but now, it’s largely been relegated to the depths of her jewelry box, perhaps waiting for Princess Estelle to take it out for a spin in a few years.

From the start, one of Victoria’s favorite royal jewels was the Baden Fringe Tiara, a classic diamond sunray tiara that belonged to Queen Victoria of Sweden. While the birthday tiara hasn’t been worn in years, the nineteenth-century fringe continues to be one of Victoria’s signature tiaras to this day. She was even immortalized wearing it in Barbie doll form!
