I was going to start a new thread, but then I found this one. This is a great link to see up-close the tiara and emerald parure of the Danish Crown. Set of emeralds and gold necklace, brooch, and earrings.

If you click on the jewels it gives an enlarged picture.

There is also the parure that CP Mary wears.

Mary's ruby parure is private property and does not form part of the Danish Crown Jewels.

Are there any tiaras that are part of the Crown Jewels?

[noldorlord]

No, I don’t think so. I think that they are all privately owned. I also think that all the Tiara’s were bought at auction for the new brides. If Jokuem (sorry don’t know the spelling) remarries will his wife get a new one?

[rchainho]

i like that crown. thanks for sharing it.

There is a wonderful and informative book by Bjarne Steen Jensen called Juvelerne i det danske Kongehus that I've heard about in the past, and according to an interview, he is apparently going to update his book in English and may be published by an Austrailan publishing house. Let's cross our fingers that it will be. I would love to read it and I imagine that it's filled with thorough research and exhaustive information about the Danish royal jewels.

To read this very interesting interview (yes, it's in English) with Bjarne please click here or visit his site here.
