The Danes cannot afford to let another piece leave their collection. It would be a good idea if they followed the Swedish, Luxembourg and Dutch examples of creating a joint collection owned by a foundation.
Im wondering what Princess Benedikte will do with the two tiaras she inherited from her mother. Will she leave those to her daughters so they will end up in auction one or two generations later or is she going to leave them to her son who is wealthy enough to keep them. Personally i'd love it if she left at least one to the Danish family foundation possibly with a stipulation that her daughters get first use for events they attend.

Sad Prince Joachim , small collar , Danish Order and several Decorations are mixed to gether. He did not wear his hat.
Princess Marie owns not the Dagmar tiara and the French tiara. Countess Alexandra received a family tiara.

Happy new year to all members and readers of this board, and to all jewel lovers! May 2026 bring us peace, happiness and prosperity - and also a nice display of glittering royal jewels!
I also make a special wish for the recovery of the stolen French Crown jewels, stolen at the Louvre Museum last October! Apparently, all members of the gang have been arrested, but the jewels are still missing...
Here are pictures of the Danish New Year gala dinner at Amalienborg Palace (source: Billed-Bladet):

HM the Queen in the rose cut bandeau she had made
HM Queen Margrethe II in her Greenlandic Naasut tiara and earrings with pearls
HRH Princess Marie in her diamond and sapphire French tiara (great to see this one again)
HRH Princess Benedikte in the Berleburg fringe (such a shame the star and pearl tiara is not up to wearing anymore and she does not use the diamond floral tiara either).
Princess Isabella did not attend yet so we did not see her in the turquoise bandeau she got from her grandmother.
