I am disappointed ! The graduation of the big diamonds and the smaller ones should have been more respected . Not a flatering hairdo ! Previous Message Another photo of the Queen with the new tiara (courtesy of Billed-Bladet)

Just perfect ! Previous Message I love it!!! Its well positioned, the frame is hidden, and the small hanging loop on the central diamond (visible in the necklace version) is also hidden. It suits the queen very well, actually way better than I would expect. It looks wonderful on her dark hair. What about the brooch and earrings? I seem to remember Queen Margareth wearing the brooch.

The brooch

Stig, I don't think these brooches are the ones that are part of the Rose-Cut Diamond Set of the CROWN JEWELS which is where the new tiara is from. But perhaps I am mistaken.

Queen Mary is wearing the upper part of the "Ivy Brooch": And is is me or the tiara is placed wrongly with the middle stone not being in the middle - but sitting to the right on the Queen's head?

Ohhhh - the brooch she is *wearing*. I thought the question was about the brooch of the Rosenstensættet. Previous Message Queen Mary is wearing the upper part of the "Ivy Brooch":

No, the earrings where bought om auction some years ago https://royalwatcherblog.com/2024/02/05/queen-mary-of-denmarks-belle-epoque-diamond-earrings/?utm_content=cmp-true Previous Message Queen Mary is wearing the upper part of the "Ivy Brooch": And I think the earrings are new creations as well... and made from 2 of the belt's stones... And is is me or the tiara is placed wrongly with the middle stone not being in the middle - but sitting to the right on the Queen's head?

Re: The brooch and earrings - yes

Yes, that is right. I should have enlarged the photo I now see that it is not 1 big stone but the earrings bought at auction

I don t understand the reason for choosing this frame if you need to wrap it in its entirety in very visible dark brown velvet to make it ‘disappear’. The frame of the Dutch bandeau makes much more sense IMHO. Previous Message Just perfect ! Previous Message I love it!!!
