Like many Jewels of the Swedish Royal Family, the Edward VII Ruby Crown was made as a wedding gift as a member of the Swedish Royal Jewelry Vault.
In 1905, when Princess Margaret of Connaught married Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden, King Edward VII of the United Kingdom and Queen Alexandra spent a lot of money to create this ruby crown and gave it to her niece, symbolizing her happy married life.
The crown was made by Wolff and designed and manufactured with a classic symmetrical aesthetic, mainly based on herbs, and there is a separate bouquet design on the base connecting the crown, decorated with a total of seven rubies, which are gorgeous and elegant.

It can be worn as both an ordinary crown and as a necklace, as queen Sylvia has demonstrated in different ways.

Unfortunately, Princess Margaret was blessed with the life of queen, and before her husband could ascend the throne as the next King of Sweden, Princess Margaret died of an infection after an operation in 1920.

Princess Margaret's jewelry was then divided among the children. Today, most of the jewelry still exists in the Swedish royal family, and a small number of them married into the Danish royal jewelry library with Princess Margaret's daughter Ingrid.

The Edward VII Ruby Crown was inherited by Princess Margaret's second son, Prince Siegwald.
His two wives, Sonja and Marianne, have worn them in the form of crowns or necklaces. But in the end, Prince Sigwad was stripped of his royal title for marrying a commoner, and in desperation, he decided to sell the relic from his mother because of his usual extravagant expenses.
At that time, the father of Prince Sigwad, King Gustav VI Adolf of Sweden, bought this crown of his son, probably because the old father could not see that his son was so "depressed" and could not bear it, so he took the opportunity to "fund" his son's family.
Prince Sigwad
However, a dramatic family ethics drama began to be played ~ Prince Sigwad claimed that he had only lent his headdress to his father and did not sell it, but King Gustaf Adolf swore that he had purchased the crown, and for a while there were many jokes, the debaters on both sides and the public were disappointed by such a family farce.
Through the results, it is not difficult to know that the crown was purchased by his old father, King Gustav Adolf, and prince Sigwad really staged a good stage for the people what is "the dog bites Lü Dongbin, does not know the good heart".
If the old king had previously felt guilty about depriving his son of his title, after this incident, the father and son completely separated and went farther and farther.
But poor parents, when the parents can not win the child, in 1973, the old king finally left the headdress to his grandson Michael (the son of Prince Sigwad).
Finally, Michael sold the tiara to the current King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf, after which Queen Sylvia became the bearer of the crown.
It was only after Prince Sigwad's death in 2002 that Queen Silvia began wearing the crown in public on a much-frequent basis.
It is not difficult to see that today this Edward VII ruby crown has become the favorite of Queen Sylvia, and the beauty is matched with a good crown, and the grace and luxury are not lost in grandeur.
