Thank you Ella for the info....from what I observed with Princess Mary over the years was she always wore new jewels as soon as she received them..christmas, birthday, anniversary...so I have to agree with Erik that the gap is not making any sense..and I don't think she bought this tiara as well, knowing type of jewelry she prefers...it was definitely a gift. --Previous Message-- : Thank you Ella for the complete information! : Interesting: although it is wise for royals : to keep new jewellery out of sight for a : while, it seems unlikely CP Mary bought it : herself in 2012. The gap is just too big. : : --Previous Message-- : Last week I linked to an article from : Billed-Bladet that stated that Crown : Princess Mary had bought her new : necklace/tiara at auction. : : Today, I was sent a copy of the auction : catalogue. The antique necklace/tiara (and : accompanying earrings) were bought at Bruun : Rasmussen in Copenhagen in March 2012. Even : more exciting: the piece has rubies and : spinels interspersed within the diamonds. : : A link to the auction catalogue, a : discussion of the provenance notes, and : several images can be found in my article : on the purchase . Enjoy! : : :
