Gunilla Bielke's Orb
Gunilla Bielke was queen of Sweden between 1585 and 1592 and King Johan III's second wife. When the king's first wife, Queen Katarina Jagellonica, died, he became melancholic. At the end of his year of mourning, he started looking for a new wife. After much reflection, he eventually chose his cousin's daughter, the young Gunilla Bielke, but his choice was unpopular, especially amongst his siblings.
The orb, made out of gold and decorated with 27 pearls, weighs just under half a kilogram and was made in 1585 by goldsmith Frantz Beijer. It was used as the Royal Orb between 1751 and 1818.
