Like you I don’t understand why she was allowed to alter such historic jewels ! The necklace looks commun now and the tiara looked much better before Previous Message
I get her wearing the Bernadotte rubies even though i had hoped for the Swedish Pearls.
Im not a fan of the alterations made to the ruby set. Yes Queen Ingrid had it altered but i would have preferred a new base fitted to Mary's head instead of this grand reworking of the set. Yet all was done with the clear support of Queen Margrethe so i assume Queen Ingrid would also agree.
It's a shame she did not wear the full necklace, but as we have seen other queens of her generation don't wear big necklaces either. Previous Message
I like that Queen Mary wore the “Bernadotte rubies” but as she is now The Queen of DK and this is a State visit - she really should have worn the ruby parure in its full setting.
