Funny also that the base is rhinestones!
The bracelet is gorgeous!
Well, it's a pity, but we're not really surprised about that, are we? It's not a historically important piece, after all. The large elements could be removable and used as brooches or pendants. It's not exactly a timeless design. I would want a young princess like Isabella to have a modern bandeau or tiara by a modern Danish designer. No doubt she will inherit some family pieces one day.
The tiara is a very practical piece. You only need 5 fairly moderate size stones to give it another use.
I would hope the tiara does get bought by the crown prince for Princess Isabella. If she gets this tiara she has a piece that already has two versions. By adding 5 pearls she has a pearl and diamond tiara and if they can afford it adding the bracelet and 5 emeralds gives a solid base for a fairly grand set for the princess who in a few years will be 18.

You absolutely can.
I think the topic has been discussed before and I believe that none from The Royal Family would have the funds to buy. Or the interest? My generel impression is that Queen Margrethe would rather spend money on art than jewellery.
And then there is the provenience!
That is why I believe that the bracelet would bee a better choise if one would guess which piece could be bid on by one from the Royal Family. I comes directly from Queen Alexandrine, The Queens grandmother.
But sadly I believe we will not see any of the pieces in the hands of the Danish Royal Family in the future.
In my imagination I imagine Queen Margrethe buying the tiara, and could wear it with the sapphire demi-parure.
I can dream, can’t I? 😊
Sad news but expected, though the versatility of the Tiara would have been great. I do hope that they will be bought by the same individual who bought the Russian Sapphire Tiara , so they can be exhibited at the Royal Palaces.
