Here are two pictures of Queen Ingrid and one of Queen Margrethe. I really like the look of this tiara.

The brooch you speak of is not part of the diamond tiara. It is a part of the Crown Jewels, housed at Rosenborg Castle.
After Queen Alexandrine 's death the juwels were share equally between her 2 sons.
Prince Knud's heirs have the sapphire tiara and the fringe tiara.
I believe that it was originally Queen Alexandrine's and now is worn by her grandson, Ingolf's, wife Countess Sussie.
Queen Dolly , Your thread is interesting. I did not know that Alexandrine thought that Ingolf should have been King of Danemark. How were the relationships between Queen Ingrid and Prince Knud's wife?
Does any of our Danish jewelry experts know anything about the flower brooch Queen Margrethe wore at her wedding?Queen Margrethe's 60th birthday celebrations ...
Wedding day ...
Does any of our Danish jewelry experts know anything about the flower brooch Queen Margrethe wore at her wedding?
Exactly right.Thats the daisy brooch which once belonged to Crown Princess Margaretha of Seeden. It was later inherited by Queen Ingrid who gave it to Queen Margrethe on her Margrethe 60th birthday. Queen ingrid also wore the brooch on her Wedding day.
Does anyone know anything about this necklace from Margrethe II's collection? I've only seen HM wearing it once more - during a State Banquet with the tiara now worn by Princess Marie.
Also the brooches - I know they were Queen Ingrid's at a time, but nothing more.
Thanks in advance,

I agree, she should loan it to Mary, who really needs a diamond necklace!!Thank you, Stefan! The necklace really deserves being worn more frequently.

Exactly! And she should give her a frame for Christmas, so that Mary can wear it as a tiara as wellI agree, she should loan it to Mary, who really needs a diamond necklace!!
Or she could herself wear it as tiara.Exactly! And she should give her a frame for Christmas, so that Mary can wear it as a tiara as well
I wouldn't mind that. The best solution imo: start sharing certain jewels! Mary and Marie need more choices, without depleating the vaults by giving away anything for good. But I'm repeating myself.Or she could herself wear it as tiara.
