Danish royal jewels

[Luc]

I think it's a good idea we should start a topic on the jewels of the Danish royal family, they have a fabulous collection.  I know little of them and I would be glad to learn more on them !

She must have access to larger stoned necklaces for formal occasions!

A really good book on the subject is  "Juvelerne I det Danske kongehus" by Bjarne Steen Jensen. It's in Danish, but it has lot of pictures, and goes into detail about the 3 categories of Danish royal Jewels; the Crown Jewels, the Jewels which are entailed property, and the private jewelry of the royal family.

Quite coincidentally: I just bought this book today and it is absolutely amazing, the pictures as well the text. Though I'm Dutch and don't read Danish, I'm trying to read it with the help of a dictionary and it reads quite well...

Oh but this book is a gem!Absolutely.

Mr.Bjarn Steen Jensen is a regular poster at the RJWMB ao.
He had the full and active cooperation of Queen Margrethe II for his research.
Just a marvellous book,a must have.Well done Kmerov and Luc.

Oh my gosh! How gorgeous... I particularly like some of the earrings on the link posted by 'simin', though it was odd to have part of her face cropped, instead of the whole photo.     
I think my favorite piece (keeping in mind that I haven't seen that many pictures of the royal jewels,) is the Ruby Parure. (sp?).
 
They are quite light, lighter than most rubies, and almost lilac in color... I love them!  And I just saw pictures for the first time today!

They used to be worn by the Queen Mother of Denmark, Ingrid.

i think that tiara its "too much" but Mary looks beautiful with it

I like this choker

[GrandDuchessAndrea]

I like the earrings, but I think the necklace is "too much". What's the jewel in the center?

[Carolath Habsburg]

I guess a diamind who changes colors depend of the lighting . Camilla Parker Bowles have one similar, also princess Diana , among other royals ladies .

Here another view of the choker and those earrings, which are similars to the ones who owns Princess Letizia of Spain



Carolina of Monaco have a similar pair but in other colors.
