The descendants of Prince Knud and Princess Caroline Mathilde have the following tiaras:
I agree, they would look very nice together. And wouldn't it be nice if the DRF had parures in all three major stones: emeralds, rubies, sapphires? On can dream. I think that the Queen's sapphire necklace was also a gift from the Russian relatives, but I don't know if they were given to Anastasia or to Alexandrine.
Thank you, Maria Olivia

I seem to remember that Danish author and royal jewellery specialist Bjarne Steen Jensen was adamant that the Danish fringe and the fringe of GD Anastasia are the same. But I didn’t safe his quote, so I might be mistaken. Yet it could be that Bjarne Steen Jensen had incorrect information. He also said that Queen Alexandrine put a not into the tiara box which says that the tiara was made by Bolin.
Mmh, might this one be a match? Grand Duchess Marie of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, step-mother of Anastasia's husband:

There is not much known about this small tiara. It was made for Princess Helena, you can see her wearing it in this cutting from the group pic of the wedding of CP Frederik of Denmark and Princess Ingeborg of Sweden in 1935.

It is not known if Princess Helena’s daughter Princess Caroline-Mathilde ever wore it, but she gave it her daughter-in-law Countess Inge at her wedding to Count Ingolf. This small one was the only tiara Countess Inge was ever seen with, as she died before her husband inherited the fringe tiara.
Princess Caroline Mathilde:

Count Ingolf’s second wife, Countess Sussie, usually wore the larger and more impressive fringe tiara. The last time that she was seen with the small tiara was the Dinner at Fredensborg for Queen Margrethe’s 70th birthday. I think she only chose it because there were two tiara events in a row and she had already worn her ‘best’ tiara at the previous theatre gala.

It is understandable that she prefered the saphire tiara, isn't it
?

That is an interesting question. I don't know when Countess Anne-Dorthe started to wear the sapphire tiara. But was the wedding in 1995 the first time that the twins Josephine and Camilla wore tiaras? Maybe Anne-Dorthe borrowed the sapphire tiara from her mother-in-law so that her daughter could wear the spikey tiara?
