Princess Marie of Denmark Jewellery 1: Ending Jun 2023

[Artemisia]

I think if I received an engagement ring like that, I would actually pretty touched.
True, it is not my idea of an engagement ring (I'd prefer something like Queen Elizabeth's or Crown Princess Victoria's rings), however, the thought behind the ring is what would matter to me. Joachim deliberately chose a ring that symbolised his bride's roots and country of origin.

However stunning the ring, at the end of the day it's better to receive a modest but thoughtful ring, than a trophy, statement piece with no emotions behind it.

Well said Artemisia.

From banquet in honor of Charles and Camilla. Can someone tell if the shoulder jewels are part of her dress or new jewels?

Thanks, I think they're part of the decoration on the dress. I like her delicate earrings.

Those diamond drops are gorgeous and it looks like the decorative pieces on the gown slip over a rope-like attachment. You can see how the top ones curve down. Whether they came with the dress, are costume jewelry or the real thing is the question. Thank you for the closeup, Salma!

Those earrings are stunning!

Regarding her engagement ring 2 things 1] I f she had a hand in choosing it fine it's ugly but she picked ugly
2] I f that is not the case how did she feel when seeing for the first time the most appaling engagement ring and the new husband sees you as that boring !!!!
Because IMO not only is it Ugly but it's boring it's not an eterinty ring it's just something one would slip on for daytime when nothing else came to mind.
So for me I hope it's the first option.

I think I remember reading, that Joachim designed it himself?

 

[agami.pearl]

I think he did.

 

[UserDane]

I think he did.

Hmmm. Lucky for him then that he doesn't have to earn his livelihood from his designs ......

The World’s First All-Diamond Ring Looks Like Rock Candy - Socialite Life

Maybe she should swap it out for this one. 150 carat solid diamond ring, that should be enough bling for anyone.

 

[Baroness of Books]

Looks like a lucite ring to me; guess you just got to see it in person to appreciate it!

Pretty brooch on Marie...looks like pearls and diamonds. Has she worn this one before?

[agami.pearl]

Yes she did, many times. Mary has similar piece given her by P Henrik, so maybe this on is also gift from him to Marie.
Here is slightly better view of this diamond brooch

what does matys look like`?

 

[Artemisia]

As agami.pearl noted, Marie has worn it quite a few times. Apart from South Korea reception in May of 2011, she also wore it during the week-long visit to Japan a month earlier (the picture is not very clear, but it's definitely the same brooch).

Mary's brooch was an engagement present from Prince Henrik.
She has worn it both as a brooch and as a hair ornament.

[Baroness of Books]

Lovely brooch and it looks fabulous in her hair! Is it all diamonds or are there pearls as well?

I think there are pearls as well as diamonds.

 

[Frelinghighness]

Lovely brooch, perfectly suitable, more more!!

 

[rubies]

Mary's brooch is all diamonds. Marie's has some pearls. I love both these brooches!

 

[NoorMeansLight]

I like the brooch, it's so small and elegant! Marie should wear pearls more often, IMO.

 

[Meraude]

I haven't thought very much about Marie's engagement ring, but I caught a quick close glimpse of it today in a documentary of her and it doesn't look that chunky close on as the band was filigree and looked quite nice.

 

[Artemisia]

Does anyone recognise the brooch Marie wore for Christening?
It's really lovely.

 

[marymary]

I like the brooch so much. It looks amazing on Marie.
