New Year's reception in Copenhagen - Queen Mary's bracelet

Posted by Arthur on January 6, 2025, 1:32 pm

Today, King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark hosted (for their first time as Danish sovereigns) the traditional New Year reception for the Diplomatic corps at Christiansborg Palace. Queen Mary did not wear any tiara for this ceremony (following Queen Margrethe II's example), but she wore a pair of diamond drop earrings (which she had earlier worn on 8th October 2024 at the State banquet for the President of Iceland) and a bracelet made of a diamond element mounted on a golden chain: Does anyone know the origin of these earrings and bracelet? And has anyone a better picture of the bracelet? Queen Mary at the Icelandic State banquet on 8th October 2024, wearing the same earrings:

Thank you, Stig. I was not aware of this bracelet. Were Queen Ingrid or Queen Margrethe II ever seen wearing it?

It might be feasible to wear the antique diamond bracelet on a framework as a modest tiara, in my opinion.

I bought in Denmark Bjarne Steen Jensen , Juvelerne I det Danske Kongehus. He never spoke about the jewels Queen Mary is wearing now. I think his book is about Queen Alenxandrine, Queen Ingrid and Queen Margrete. I don't know if he updated for Princesses Mary and Marie.?
