Yes, it is. I'd totally forgotten about it since we never see it. Has the Queen ever worn it?Isnt't that the scarab necklace.

The necklace queen Silvia wore this week:
She has had it for instance at the Polar Music Prize in 2008.

Lilian seems to have worn the same necklace and earrings in 2000 on her 85th birthday.

Close up. At this close up it doesn't look beautiful at all.

I have read some posts on the royal jewels message board that these pearls look fake.

I don't know where people get there opinion from - if you look at the close-up you can see the tiny spots on the pearls which are a clear proof that they are natural!
Queen Silvia wears too much jewellery like the British and the Dutch queens.
Her jewellery choice is a bit disappointing. She wears the nine prongs tiara for the third Nobel awards in a row. And that gown with it's nude colour would have been great with some coloured stones, like the Leuchtenberg sapphires. The neckline of the gown doesn't call for a big necklace, so the sapphire tiara would have been a nice option to add some colour.
The pink stones would have been perfect, but I'm not sure that a big necklace would have worked too well with the neckline of that gown. It would have interfered with the embroidery, I think.The pink topaz demi-Parure would also have mathched the colour of the gown perfect.

But thinking about it again, I think it also would have looked good with the cameo tiara. Alas, that one seems to have gone lost after Victoria's wedding.

The diadem never fails to deliver in it's core business: magic sparkle. I have never liked the design, but we need to keep in our mind that ethetics was not always the leading motif behind royal jewels.
