Such a beautiful set of jewels! So glad that Queen Mary is showcasing it outside of the glass case at Rosenborg. The pieces look beautiful on her. Cannot wait to see her wearing the necklace, which is spectacular!Thank you @Izzie more info on the Countess Danner Collection
"It was a great pleasure for us to see the Queen honouring Countess Danner by actually wearing Countess Danner's earrings to the opening.
In the Treasury here at Rosenborg Castle we have a very special jewelry set from Grevinde Danner, but which has only now been used again. The exceptional set is more than 165 years old and was a gift from the then Frederik 7. to his much loved wife, Lensgrevinde Louise Danner - or Countess Danner, as most of us Danes know her - in 1860.
...
Since then, the beautiful set has been exhibited in the Treasury here under Rosenborg Castle, until now, when the Queen has put parts of the set to use. The first time was when the Queen inaugurated the new monument to Countess Danner in Copenhagen back in November 2024 and again at the Royal couple's state visit to Finland and again today at the opening of the current exhibition about Countess Danner.
When the Queen doesn't wear the jewelry, they can be seen here in the Treasury under Rosenborg Castle."
Queen Mary's love of history through jewelry is becoming very apparent with her venturing deep into the vaults of the DRF jewels. Who know what else lies in those vaults that no one has seen in centuries!
