I strongly agree with you that execution of the floral arrangement was very successful...
maybe CP Mary should let Mr.Appel redesign her ruby tiara

: "at least its more balanced than CP
: Mary's altered ruby tiara LOL "
:
: LOL indeed.
:
: The design of the earrings strikes me as
: something of a misconception - why those
: bows in a design which is meant to go with
: blossoms? - but I like the tiara at second
: glance even more.
:
: The concept to dispense with any flowers'
: leaves and create the design completely with
: very naturalistic blossoms is interesting in
: itself, and IMHO the execution is quite
: successful.
: To create balance without reverting to
: symmetry is always a difficult undertaking;
: I'd say that goldsmith Nicolai Appel did a
: great job.
:
: Officially, this was called the 'Naasut
: Tiara' at the presentation - 'naasut'
: meaning 'flowers' in Greenlandic.

: Sorry all -- but the design and construction
: look like a bit of a mess to me.
:
: But the Queen looks very happy and since it
: has been made with her in mind, and from the
: gold coins, etc. from Greenland, it is a
: loving tribute.

: Thank you Boris...I quite like it..and what
: a
: great idea to have it convert into
: brooches...I totally see Queen Margrethe
: wearing them often...and combining them with
: her golden poppies
:
: Edit: does anyone see rubies that are
: mentioned in the tiara? Even with my eagle
: eye I have hard time finding it LOL

: I agree, IMHO it’s quite an intricate and
: appealing variation of the traditional tiara
: shape in blossoms.
: The tiara came with matching earrings – here
: is a link to a report with photos of Queen
: Margrethe receiving the jewels and trying on
: the earrings:

: Queen Margrethe’s new tiara, a 40th jubilee
: gift from Greenland, has now been finished.
: Made of gold, small diamonds and rubies at a
: cost of about 40.000 Euro, it weighs a
: quarter of a kilo and is convertible into
: five seperate brooches.
: It seems that some small-sized of the
: infamous 'poppies' are incorporated in the
: design.

: Link to an article about the tiara from
: Berlingske newspaper:
