Royal Jewels

More Windsor jewels from the State Banquet! Note all participating royal ladies have finally been given the Family Order of Charles III!

The Princess Royal in aquamarines. I guess the politically correct way to refer to her jacket is vintage...

The Duchess of Edinburgh mixing and matching her blue stones - the convertible aquamarine tiara and GRAFF Nuage sapphires. HRH notably wore the earrings (and bracelet?) at the Coronation, but this si the first time we see her in the necklace.

I've got not one but two honourable mentions in one picture - The Prince of Wales and his escort for the night. The Princes of Wales is wearing the diamond set insignia of his orders for the very first time, while his companion (identified as Lady Hood is some sources) donned a mighty fringe tiara, collet necklace and stylised cross brooch.
I think that the fringe is the same one worn by Lady Sarah Keswick (one of Camilla's ladies in waiting) at the State Opening of Parliament.

Princess Birgitta of Sweden & Hohenzollern has passed away at the age of 87 in Mallorca :(
The Princess was the second eldest sister of King Carl XVI Gustaf and the only one of the Haga Princesses to retain her HRH after her wedding.

Exciting news from the Danish royal house!
the Rose-cut diamond parure from the crown jewels has been altered to suit modern times! The middle section of the rivière has been put on a newly-made frame for Queen Mary to wear as a tiara. This is the first time since the set was created in 1840 that the necklace has been set on a frame to suit the times.


I think Queen Mary was inspired by her counterpart and friend Maxima and we might actually see the tiara tonight during the Egyptian state banquet!

So exciting to see a new tiara!

The Danish Royal Family needs to look ahead on the tiaras because Isabella and Josephine will be wearing them soon!

I could easily see the Edwardian going to Isabelle. Maybe the Turquoise to Josephine?

Do you think Mary would pass her wedding tiara to the next generation? Or will it have too much sentimental value?
 
Queen Mary wore the new tiara at the State Banquet for Egypt!

The "original magpie", aka Britain's Queen Mary, would've been proud for sure! Funny enough, she did play around with a diamond riviere from the estate of Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna, wearing it as a bandeau before she commissioned Gerrard's to create a sautoir in 1928.
 
just because i miss HM
