The Swedish Royal Family has brought all the glitter to the 2024 Nobel Prizes. King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden presented the awards for Literature, Physics, Chemistry, and Physiology or Medicine in Stockholm. The ceremony is a formal event where the women of the Royal Family wear gowns and tiaras. For 2024, they chose several stunning pieces.

Queen Silvia in the Leuchtenberg Sapphire Tiara

The Queen of Sweden selected one of the largest tiaras in her royal collection, the tiara from the Leuchtenberg Sapphire Parure.
