Thanks Josefine and Danjel for all the great pictures. Now I know where Prince Nikolaos (sp?) of Greece gets his exceptional good looks.

Yes, thank you both for the lovely pictures.

Queen Ingrid was lovely. I think her daughter Benedikte resembles her quite a bit.

Dear Members,

Thank you for the pictures of this marvelous woman. She really was every inch a queen. Even in the last years when decline had really set in still there was something there and that was very moving. I found the different views of the ruby parure wonderful. I know now what the whole tiara looks like. Of course a picture is only a pale reflection. But CP Mary must be stunning in real life with that thing on. It is one of the most amazing, delightful and exhilerating sets of jewelry ever made, a masterpiece of the jewelers art. Cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Thomas Parkman

I believe she took the Khedive of Egypte tiara, now owned by her daughter Anne-Marie, the pearl and star tiara that Benedikte owns now and the Ruby parure of Mary. As far as I know from the top of my head these were all the important items. But probaby she took bracelets, necklaces and earrings to.

She took also the Baden-Heart Diamond Tiara today worn by Queen argrethe II. and the Daisy-Brooch worn by her and Queen Margrethe II. on her Wedding Days. The Ruby parure did not come to denmark with Queen Ingrid. It was in 1869 given as a loan to princess Lovisa of Sweden who married the future Frederik VIII. by her grandmother Queen Joséphine. A few years later after the death of her grandmother she inherited the parure. In 1898 she gave the Tiara to Duchess Alexandrine of Mecklenburg the bride of her son Christian. When Queen Lovisa died in 1926 King Christian X. inhrited the Rest of the Parure. In 1935 the entire parure was given as a Wedding present to Princess Ingrid of Sweden by her parents-in-law.

Thank you Josefine. Queen Ingrid was a very elegant woman and her jewelry flatters her.

I recall that I made that mistake with the ruby parure before somewhere on this forum, but tanks for correcting me :).
Are there any pictures of Queen ingrid with the heart tiara or the star/pearl tiara?

There was a photo of her with the Pearl and Star Tiara on the old Royal-Jewels Site with is no closed. but i have not seen a photo of her with the Baden Heart Tiara.

A pity that Glenns site seems to be down to, but thank you for the awnser Stefan.
Does anybody know what happened to the stars and daisy's she is wearing in post no 8 of thios thread? Judging from the clothes she was still a Swedish Princess when she wore them, so did she take them with her to Denmark? The daisy's make a pretty bandeau for a younger Princess.

The Ruby Tiara looked perfect on Ingrid!
On Princess Mary it often looks too big and massive. It looked better on Ingrid. In a way it wasn't too "big for her head"...

Well, I am used to it in Ingrids white hair to. I think the colour of her hair makes the tiara seem less overwhelming, when Mary is wearing the rubies the contrast seems much bigger, also as her hair is flat and not culry as Ingrids.
