Mary's amazing jewels at the Bambi awards:

1 2 3 4

Like her dress, Mary's jewels were absolutely perfect. The earrings, the bracelet, and the ring are simply exquisite.
 
Some of my fave pieces of Marys collection. Beautiful pictures Ilovecp!!
 
The ring and earrings are beautiful. I don't have a working knowledge of Mary's jewels so I'll just assume the earrings are iolite and diamonds. haha

I'm not a big fan of the bracelet, it's rather bulky for her dainty wrist. Pretty design though.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but Mary had 4 tiara appearances of 2014:

1 2 3 4

If you are referring to the first picture above, it is Mary's much used (an quite rightly so) maroon velvet gown, which dates back to her early years as a royal.
 
I have put together some collages hope this is of some help.

The wedding tiara as a necklace. It is now quite a versatile piece.

The first pic is from the New Years Gala, the second pic is from the State Visit form Turkey in March 17.

There was also a banquet for members of the government on March 13 where CP Mary wore the wedding tiara and an official picture for the 10th wedding anniversary with the ruby parure.

So there were 4 tiara appearance for Mary:flowers:.
 
Thank you Tilia C. I edited my post.

I've always loved Mary's aquamarine choker but the sapphires surrounding it and on the spacers of the pearls have never sat well with me. I don't know who thought if that but I think it would've been much better suited with diamonds or more pearls. The blue from the sapphires are too bright and they clash with the aqua color and pearls. Maybe someday Mary will change it. That's my hope.
 
You are right HRHAmy. I think diamonds would be perfect!! That close up really shows the incredible size of Marys ruby tiara..Love it!!
 
I've compiled all of Mary's tiara appearances over the years and tried to date them all: (made easy by the wonderful Crown Princess Mary unofficial board)

I think that is the problem with large aquamarine's, the setting has to enhance the stones and that is not easy.

If you take a look at Camilla's quite deep aqaumarine clasp you see they have gone large pearls, large intricately woven diamond studded surround:

And to give you an idea of the actual size and colour: http://i48.tinypic.com/21b0pqs.jpg

This is a lighter one from Christies and with modern facets, needed just a diamond surround:https://shard1.1stdibs.us.com/archivesE/jewelry/upload/412/42/412_1360350989_4.jpg

Whereas Mary's pearls are tiny and needs spacers to keep the pearls from flopping all over the place. But, more importantly, the aquamarine stone itself is of an incredibly delicate shade and the sapphires have been added to help the large stone retain it's colour.

Mary doesn't seem to have worn this for some years and I think that could be because they are too dainty for her personal style. Now if the used bigger pearls and softer, lighter sapphires, it might hold it's colour and be more Mary's speed.
 
Tiaras Mary wore at royal weddings and celebrations:

Joachim and Marie: 1
Victoria and Daniel: 1
Albert and Charlene: 1
Guillaume and Stephanie: 1
Madeleine and Chris: 1

I wonder if Mary will wear her wedding tiara for CP's wedding or pull out the Midnight tiara again?
 
I hope to see her wedding tiara in the original setting

IMO the sapphires don't enhance the color of the aquamarine at all. Because as you say, the aquamarine is so delicate I would think using pearls or diamond (as Camilla did) to surround the stone would be better. To me the sapphires over shadow the beautiful color of the aquamarine stone. I guess it's all a matter of personal taste but I do not care for the sapphires on the choker.

Fair point. But I suspect this is the way Mary go the choker, and continues to use it. I think her changes to the ruby parure are quite successful, so she is probably not afraid to make any changes that she things will enhance the choker.
 
I just love that Mary wore the ruby tiara for the first time out of the country at Victoria's wedding. Not only was it one of Queen Ingrid's favorites, but she also married in the same church Victoria and Daniel married.
 
Mary was wearing her cartier diamind watch with a black strap last week. Havent seen it lately. Anyone get a good photo?
 
Beautiful gifs of Mary wearing the ruby parure for the first time:

Crown Princess Mary's Engagement Ring | The Court Jeweller

I really like Mary's engagement ring. At first I didn't think it was anything special but I eventually thought of it as a very beautiful and classic ring. I just love the rubies. I like the altered version just as the original version. Not one of my favorites but it's certainly a lovely ring.
