Thank you so much for sharing, Christian! All four of your finds are great, but I find the tiara of particular interest. IMHO, the direct comparison below shows quite clearly that you are correct and that this is indeed the same tiara. Of course the next question would be who the original owner of this versatile piece was...
Mrs. Melchior in 1964, and Queen Margrethe in 1985:
--Previous Message-- : It think it has been known for some time now, : that Frederik IX bought the floral tiara for : his wife from a Danish-American in the : middle of the 1960s. I think I have found : this person - the famous opera singer : Lauritz Melchior. Melchior and his first : wife (wearing the tiara) are pictured in : this article from Danish gossip magazine Se : & Hør from 1964. As his first wife had : died when the article was written and : Melchior married again the same year it is : possible that he sold the tiara to the King : around this time. Queen Ingrid began using : the tiara in 1965 or 1966 - I think at the : Belgian state visit. : : Christian : : :
