Great work, Mapmaker!

Good job, Wymanda. It is kind of strange to see her wearing what is now a very well-known piece of jewelry.

Actually she would not have had the Khedive to wear as that came with Ingrid from Sweden.

As did the ruby tiara, but still it looks great on Olga (but her elegance would even make the swedish Jeep-tiara acceptable probably  )

You're right, wymanda. I forgot that it was Margaret of Connaught's engagement in Egypt.
Marengo, thanks for the response, also. I looked at what I have and was under the impression that Queen Desiree's ruby parure was originally worn in Denmark by Queen Alexandrine, pre-dating Queen Ingrid, who only embellished the original design. Can you please let me know if that is incorrect? Thanks in advance.
Hope to have my efforts with Wallis up soon.

Actually I automatically assumed it came to Denmark with Queen Ingrid, as she is Swedish. But it could have been Queen Lovisa to of course, am am not to sure now. In the last case it would indeed have been worn by Queen Alexandrine.

The ruby Parure was given to princess Lovisa of Sweden by her grandmother, Queen Joséfine of Sweden when she married the then danish Crown prince Frederik in 1869. Red and White like the danish Flag the Dannebrog. But it was only a loan and when Queen Joséfine died a few years later Lovisa inherited it. The Tiara was given in 1898 to Duchess Alexandrine of Mecklenburg the bride of her oldest son the future Christian X. who inherited the Rest of the parure after the death of his mother in 1926. In 1935 the entire parure was given to princess Ingrid of Sweden when she married the future Frederik IX.
