I agree with you, Boris. The main difference when looking to Queen Ingrid's photos wearing the full parure, it that we saw a Queen in all her great finery. Looking to Crown Princess Mary and all this unnecessary changes, like Tamara pointed, it's just like looking to those unknown models who wear historical jewels before they're auctioned or film stars who borrow substantial pieces for a premiere... The whole concept of tradition and historical meaning get lost with this! --Previous Message-- : Here's another one who couldn't agree more. : The only modification after the first : appearances in the ruby tiara which made : complete sense was to cover all parts of the : base in dark velvet. : The subsequent changes have destroyed the : charmingly irregular and more naturalistic : wreath feel of the tiara. In the process, : the tiara was even robbed off its central : tip, replacing it with, well - with nothing : but a gap, a dip instead of a rise. : Grey pearl pendants on the earrings and - : particularly odd - as well on the brooch, : used like a belt buckle on this occasion, do : not appeal esthetically to me either. : The three brooches gained from the : alteration might be pretty but they're also : quite redundant. : : Unfortunately, CP Mary was the only one in : the recent jewels documentary whose comments : were less than enlightning IMHO, and her : points about altering the tiara in order to : be able to wear it more upright and suit her : face shape obviously don't make a lot of : sense, as can be seen in Tamara's pics. : : : : : : : --Previous Message-- : As much as I like that CP Mary rethink her : jewels (just as Queen Ingrid remade the : tiara when she owned it) I still think that : the very first time she wore the ruby parure : (Christiansborg Palace May 2004) was the : best. : : Cannot agree with you more : : just look how upright this tiara was...no : problem there. : : : : : : : This was a WOW imagine of this parure....I : hope one day to see it all again... : : : : --Previous Message-- : As much as I like that CP Mary rethink her : jewels (just as Queen Ingrid remade the : tiara when she owned it) I still think that : the very first time she wore the ruby parure : (Christiansborg Palace May 2004) was the : best. : : I understand that modern princesses (who : seems to want to be more smart, petite and : fashionable than regal) prefer small tiaras : and no necklaces, but it makes me very sad : when a historical important parure like the : Danish ruby set, is worn like this.
