Book on Ruby Parure Archived Message

The book by Nina Hald:
http://www.saxo.com/dk/eventyrlige-rubiner_nina-hald_hardback_9788792746115
shows lots of pictures on how the changes were made to tiara, necklace, earrings, brooch and how easy it is to make all the changes from the original version to the simpler ones. It also shows the creation of the new ring to complete the parure.
Marianne Dulong company made all the changes to the ruby parure. They also re-did the frame for Mary's wedding tiara to allow the addition of pearls. They have two photos of Mary's wedding earrings.
I have the book, but since I don't understand Danish, I can only comment on the photos shown. And just for the photos, it is worth it for me.

: Thank you, Kasper and Marianne.
:
: I agree these rubies look very good on Crown
: Princess Mary's dark hair and undisputable
: elegance.
:
: But I admit, anyway, that I can not prevent
: myself from feeling a shiver in my spine
: when I see such an old and historical parure
: being so much transformed. My concern is not
: about the tiara/hairpins (I know that the
: tiara is made of several separate elements -
: former corsage brooches - mounted on a tiara
: frame, so there is no problem changing the
: assortment of the elements), but about the
: necklace and the girandole earrings: do we
: know if these jewels can easily revert back
: to their original, "historical"
: shape?
:
: Here are a few large pictures from
: yesterday's gala:

: I like the ruby parure hair pins a lot. They
: allow her to wear important hair jewels to
: toned down events that don't require a
: tiara. They look grand in Mary's dark hair.
