Thank you Lorenzo. I'm glad to see Princess Elisabeth was well enough to attend the festivities and wear her beautiful tiara. --Previous Message-- : Thanks Cristina. : : Now I remember to have read something about : a broken jewel by Queen Ingrid to give : different pieces to her daughters. I had in : mind those saphires from the Queen had : Russian inheritance. : : Maybe if Princess Elisabeth left her tiara : to the main branch of the RF, Crown Princess : Mary - or Princess Marie - can have a new : 'parure' to wear in the future. : : --Previous Message-- : The saphire tiara belonged to Princess : Thyra, : who never married nor had children. She left : it to her niece Princess Caroline Mathilde, : and it is now property of her daughter : Princess Elizabeth. : Queen Margareth saphires belonged to her : grandmother Queen Alexandrine, who wore them : 1920's fashion, as pendants on a long : diamond sautoir. I am not sure if they are a : russian inheritance from her mother Grand : Duchess Anastasia. I believe Queen Ingrid : broke that piece and gave the saphires to : Queen Margareth, and the diamond sautoir was : separed in two identical pieces, now worn as : necklaces by Princess Benedikte and Queen : Anne Marie of Greece. Princess Benedikte : wears it sometimes as a double bracelet, and : Queen Anne Marie had it arranjed so she : could hang her wonderful big emerald drops : from it. : : : : --Previous Message-- : Which is the provenance of that tiara and of : the saphires of Queen Margrethe II? : : Thanks in advance. : : --Previous Message-- : this tiara would look amazing with sapphires : of Queen Margrethe... : : thanks for the closeup : : --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : In the following link is a pictures of : Princess Elisabeth wearing her tiara with : sapphires - though sadly one does not see : the tiara too well due to the distance and : lightening (you have to skip through several : pictures of Danish government officials). : : : : : : : http://www.b.dk/billedeserier/dronningens-nytaarskur : : --Previous Message-- : : : Parts of the ruby tiara that were removed : can be seen on the back, on Princess Mary's : chignon. : : : : The earrings and ruby brooch have dangling : gray pearls attached to them. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
