Queen Mary of Denmark Jewels 1: 14 Jan 2024 -

[muriel]

For me its 1, 3 and 5

I really wish she will wear the full emerald parure with a different dress next year… Mary seems to favour small necklaces or no necklace at all nowdays, and i have no problems with that, but for the emerald parure it does not come off right with no necklace or with the necklace hidden in the dress as in pic 2..

I agree, a different dress is needed to show off the emerald parure to its best effect.

Number 4 and 5 are the most regal appearances!

4 & 5 were both very special appearances. 3 would have looked much better with a different dress. And I was not a fan of the appearance in Sweden: the hairstyle seemed unnecessarily messy.

The Rose Stone Tiara: A Reimagined Crown Jewel for 2024.With the Rose Stone Tiara, Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Collection are reviving a centuries-old tradition of reimagining the Danish Crown Jewels to meet the changing needs of the times, while also bringing the rarely used rose stone set back to life. All this in respect of the heritage and tradition that the Danish Crown Jewels, as living cultural heritage, uniquely represent.The frame on which the rose stones in the new tiara are mounted was created by goldsmith Matias Hasbo Dinesen in consultation with The Queen and the Royal Collection.The rose stone set was created in 1840 as a chain that is mounted around a corseted waist with the large pendant, the corsage, in the middle. The pendants can be divided and used separately as independent brooches. Her Majesty Queen Margrethe did not wear the rose stone set often during her reign. Only on a few occasions did Her Majesty use the corsage as a breast ornament.The Danish queens have each left their mark on the historical crown jewels through major and minor changes. With changes in locks and new ways of combining, the jewelry sets have been updated and thus made their own - always with respect for history and based on a desire to increase the usefulness of the jewelry sets.

For almost 100 years, the Rosenstein Set, which is part of the Danish Crown Jewels, has lived a shadowy existence in the treasury display case under Rosenborg Castle.The set consists of a heavy pendant and a long chain – a so-called Gürtel – intended to be worn around the queen’s corseted waist. The chain was last worn by Queen Lovisa, who was the wife of Frederik VIII.But now the set is getting new life. Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Collection have collaborated to transform part of the set into a tiara, respecting the history and the distinguished jeweler’s work that was displayed in the 1840s when designing the Rosenstein Set. By creating a new supplementary mounting frame for the set, it will now be possible to wear the largest diamonds of the Rosenstein Set in a tiara.With the creation of the new frame, The Queen and the Royal Collection are resuming the old tradition of adapting the crown jewels to the demands and needs of the times. This in many ways marks a new path for the Danish crown jewels, uniting the different traditions that have surrounded these four iconic jewelry sets – a path between revitalization and continuity.The new tiara is designed as a so-called Bandeau – a headband for mounting in the hair consisting of a single row of rose-cut diamonds. This simple shape continues the expression of the belt, where the diamonds are also mounted in a row.Since the historical settings from the 1840s are preserved in the new tiara, the back of the diamonds will remain closed, whereby the diamonds will not, as is normal in tiaras, be illuminated. As a result, they will appear less brilliant than if the case had been open settings.The frame on which the rose-cut diamonds in the new tiara are mounted was created by goldsmith Matias Hasbo Dinesen in consultation with the Queen and the Royal Collection.

Great to see the necklace being transformed into a tiara. The Dutch bandeau is clearly an inspiration, but it is good to see Mary use her creativity to create something new and usable.

 

[Marengo]

How exciting, indeed very simular to the Dutch bandeau but on a higher frame. Not that the design is that original but a simple row of big diamonds is wonderful. It makes perfect sense to see how the collection can be used in new ways.

What a wonderful new creation and the video was fascinating to watch!
I would love to see Queen Sofia’s Niarchos rubies mounted like that to show them off properly .
Queen Mary is very both very successful and creative on the jewel front.

 

[Hans-Rickard]

It’s a lovely idea to make this very rarely worn set seen more often… As they have other diamond collet’s that they use as necklace’s more regularly, this wonderful set has been almost forgotten…

And one more all diamond tiara-option is always a good idea

 

[An Ard Ri]

Queen Mary looked so interested in the design and framing of the diamonds,I think Mary has been the most creative consort so far with the royal jewels.

Don't forgot Queen Maxima. She has also much more Jewels with which she can play and no limitations as they belong all to the Family foundation

Maxima, no doubt, has the bigger collection of the two, and has been very creative in her use of jewellery. Mary has been very inventive in her use of jewellery too. Mary has done quite a lot of alterations to the jewels she has had access to. She has completely redone the ruby parure, and the ruby tiara has since had more tweaks to it. And I am pleased to see her alter the collet necklace to create a tiara.

Well said.

Am really happy with the new creation hoping as others pointed out that the base is hidden when worn, also it gives me hope that she will start wearing more necklaces and the devant de corsages in the collection as with a simple design it will allows her to wear grander pieces with it without looking over the top!

 

[fabaunty]

I do admire the fact that HM is creative with the jewels she has at her disposal . She took her time to grow more comfortable with the Ruby parure . I always felt that as the frame was specifically made for the late Queen Ingrid , when she altered the parure using her wedding gift from her in-laws , that when it came time for the then Crown Princess Mary to wear it , well frankly it always looked as if it was in danger of slipping backwards off her head . I too look forward to seeing this new iteration with appropriate tiara hair . I would also hazard a thought that a smaller diamond necklace might be able to be connected to the bottom frame if desired , however that would mean , no cushioning against the head of the wearer as is common these days , so possibly not an option .

 

[ricarda]

And I am pleased to see her alter the collet necklace to create a tiara.

The piece that was altered is not a collet necklace, it was worn as a belt (at the time when jewels were worn all over the gowns).

[duke of poliganc]

I guess am nitpicking now but there is a link above the central stone I guess where they used to hang pendants from that is still there in the tiara setting

 

[Royalty Observer]

This was a nice surprise from Queen Mary. The results is gorgeous and I can not wait to see her wear it! She cearly has "dug" into the vaults and I do expect that we will see more surprises of this type in the near future.
Some additional thoughts from me that I am curious to see if will come a reality:
1. By creating a new smaller "tiara" that can only be worn by the queen, Mary is creating herself some smaller alternatives to wear, this way having her existing personal colection availabe to be given or made available to borow by the next generation of Danish pricesses
2. By creating bandeau tiaras, Mary may be able to "fill" in the gaps in colored tiaras in the family colection. It is easier to purchase different neclaces (as more are generally available) and transform them into this type of tiaras and may even be more afordable than the puchase of "traditional" tiaras.

As the royal website mentions, though, Queen Ingrid did wear the belt as a long collet necklace in 1950.
I've only seen a blurry photo posted ages ago on RJWMB from that occasion and she wore it together with the emerald parure. The effect was similar to Queen Ena (of Spain) wearing her emerald necklace "inside" the riviere that forms part of the joyas de pasar.

 

[pkl]

A very smart decision.
But another thing she should do is to modernise their policy of not wear the crown jewels outside of Denmark. Because, I fear her minimalist approach, will make her wear this rather than the more substantial tiaras and parures when in Denmark. She can not bring the bandeau out of Denmark. But why not change this policy? Or make it possible for other royal ladies to borrow some "minor" pieces of the crown jewels and from the entailed foundation? I know the current "rules", but maybe time to change them?
If they do that, we can see this be worn by several members of the family in the future.

 

[polyesco]

Love that they shared so much. Very open and transparent. I'm glad they Queen is involved. It looks great on Mary from what we can see.

 

[suztav]

Does anyone think that perhaps Mary has created this tiara for use by Isabella who will soon be 18? Curious?

The crown jewels can only be worn by the Queen.

 

[suztav]

But, wasn't this crown jewel dismantled and reimagined? Does that still count?

 

[ricarda]

Yes, it's still a part of the crown jewels. It's a belt which was reimagined as a necklace by Queen Ingrid and now as a tiara by Queen Mary. But in whatever form it belongs to the rosecut diamond set of the crown jewels.

 

[sophie25]

I hope too that she seeks permission ( that's if she actually needs any) to wear the Queen Alexandrine sapphire tiara whenever she wants to. I think it's in a museum somewhere in Copenhagen but no one seems to know who owns it. That would give her a ruby, emerald and sapphire tiara choice which would be wonderful.

Perhaps that one is intended for Isabella?

The crown jewels are owned by the state. Mary can wear them but she can't change policies.
And the crown jewels should be special and not be worn by all and any princesses IMO.

I know. But why not propose a change...

Mary not only looks great but knows how to pose with them. My favorite is # 2, the emerald one

 

[Alisa]

What a great video! The Queen is the Queen at re-imagining and re-purposing her fashion choices so how lovely to see that extended to the royal jewels!

I can't wait to see her wear the tiara!

It was bought by the ”Amalienborg Museum” and is on exhibition there…

Wether that means royals can use any of their jewels i have no idea, but i don’t think so

I hope she can, tiaras were made to be worn, and bearing in mind that most tiara events are in the evening, it would mainly be getting used when the museum was closed anyway.

 

[Izzie]

Doesn't Queen Mary now also have access to the Floral Agriette tiara? I would love to see that back on a frame like Queen Ingrid used to wear it.
