Queen Margrethe certainly has her own style and I'm sure her husband understands it and knows how to select modern things she would like. I doubt the necklace is exactly modern.
Regarding tiaras, CP Mary of Denmark has been very successful at using modern jewellery, in my view.
The new tiara of Queen Letizia is not correct in some way in the manner of its construction, I suspect. I'm not sure just how to express here what I mean, but it looks to me rather like an experiment in mounting pearls in a new way and simply does not succeed. Overall, its design seems based on tradtional styles but trying out modern execution. I repeat, I am having difficulty expressing this and hope someone else might get my point and do better.
