The Danish Emerald Parure

Perhaps the jewel in the Queen’s crown collection is her Emerald Parure.

Created in 1840 for Queen Caroline Amalie, the set includes a tiara, a necklace, earrings, and a corsage brooch.

27 of the diadem’s emeralds date back to 1723, making the collection incredibly historically significant.

While the colour is in-keeping with the current Queen Margrethe’s more outlandish style, we can see Crown Princess Mary reaching for the tiara or earrings for big state events.

The Danish Ruby Parure

Crown Princess Mary has already made herself familiar with this unique piece.

Like a naughty daughter venturing into a mother's wardrobe, Mary has not waited until her ascension to borrow this spectacular ruby set even adorning the headpiece for her and Crown Prince Frederik's official ascension portraits.

Made for the coronation of Napoleon in 1804, the parure includes the intricately designed crown, necklace, brooch, and earrings.

The Danish Crown Diamond Parure

This necklace, brooch, and earring set has timeless beauty.

Made for Queen Caroline Amalie in 1840, the parure is reserved only for the most significant occasions, such as the wedding of Mary and Frederik in 2004.

As such, the pieces will undoubtedly hold a special place in both Margrethe and Mary's hearts.

The Floral Bracelet Choker

The choker has recently come back into fashion, and Margarethe shows this floral piece off well in a boat-necked gown.

This is one of Margrethe's favourite pieces, leading us to wonder if she will part with her jewels as well as the crown on Sunday.

The timeless piece belonged to Queen Louise of Sweden and was initially designed as a bracelet, though the always-innovating Margrethe started wearing it as a choker in the 1980s.

The Crown Pearl and Ruby Parure with the Floral Aigrette Tiara

This parure is an extensive set, including a large pearl necklace, pearl, ruby and diamond earrings, two pearl clasps, and two ruby and diamond links.

The parure was worn here with the Floral Aigrette diadem.

The leafy diamond structure was acquired by King Frederik IX for Queen Margrethe's mother in the 1960s.

The piece is versatile and can be separated to lessen the overall effect, which may be favourable for Mary's more subtle style.

Queen Margrethe has revealed that her hairdresser enjoys styling her hair using the dazzling pieces.

The Turquoise Daisy Bandeau

This girlish beauty has already been passed along to Mary.

The flowery headpiece is elegant and playful, featuring a band of delicate daisies in a bold aquamarine.

The Palmette Tiara

This curly crown is more effeminate than Mary's current fashion would indicate. Having said that, its intricate beauty and alluring sparkle is undeniable.

The tiara is made up of diamond palmettes and flowers, set upon a link-effect diamond base.

The piece was created in 1856 for Princess Louise of Prussia when she married Grand Duke Frederick.

Queen Ingrid lent Queen Margrethe the diadem in the 1960s, before she officially inherited it on her mother's passing in 2000.

Most notably, she has worn it to the wedding of Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and the wedding of Princess Märtha Louise of Norway.

The unique gold, pearl, and cameo tiara from the Swedish royal vaults is packed with history and symbolism, from its initial creation story in Napoleonic France to the tales told by the individual cameos in the piece. Today, we’re unpacking both, with some fantastic close-up views of the parure.

The Cameo Parure, now owned by the Bernadottes of Sweden, was originally given by Napoleon I to Empress Josephine in 1809. The set includes a tiara, a necklace, a bracelet, and a pair of earrings. Today, the parure also includes a brooch, which is believed to be a slightly later addition to the suite. Above, Queen Silvia wears the entire parure—tiara, earrings, necklace, brooch, and bracelet (on her right wrist)—for the Nobel Prize ceremony in 2005.

The tiara made its way from imperial France to royal Sweden by a slightly circuitous route. It was inherited by Josephine’s son, Eugene de Beauharnais, and then passed on to his daughter, Queen Josefina of Sweden and Norway. She bequeathed the cameos to her daughter, Princess Eugenie; she bequeathed it to her nephew, Prince Eugen. He gave the set to Princess Sibylla, mother of the present king, as a wedding gift in 1932, and it has remained with the Bernadottes in Stockholm ever since.

With a central cameo depicting two gods of love, and a shape resembling traditional Scandinavian bridal crowns, it’s no surprise that this fragile, delicate heirloom has become the Bernadotte family bridal tiara. It’s been worn by two of the king’s sisters, Princess Birgitta and Princess Desiree, on their wedding days. It was also worn by his wife, Queen Silvia, at their wedding in 1976, and by their elder daughter, Crown Princess Victoria, at her wedding in 2010.

The Devonshire Parure

The Devonshire Parure consists of a coronet, diadem, bandeau, comb, necklace, stomacher, and bracelet. It was commissioned by the 6th Duke of Devonshire for Countess Granville, the wife of his nephew, to wear while accompanying him to Moscow for the coronation of Tsar Alexander II in 1856.

Made and designed by C.F. Hancock with input from Sir Joseph Paxton, the parure incorporates 88 cameos and intaglios from the 2nd Duke of Devonshire’s extensive carved gem collection depicting different Tudor monarchs. It includes carnelian, amethyst, garnets, emeralds, sapphires, onyx, jacinth, lapis lazuli, plasma, sardonyx and diamonds all set in gold and enamel.

The parure has been featured in Sotheby's Treasures from Chatsworth exhibit and docuseries. When not on tour, the parure is displayed at Chatsworth House, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.

Marseille. Après avoir visité la réplique de la Grotte Cosquer dans la Villa Méditerranée, on passe au musée : 

- reconstitution d’une femme préhistorique de l’époque

- coiffe de la Dame du Cavillon, coquillages Cyclope, craches de cerf (qu’est-ce ???), résille d'ortie - Vintimille, -24000 ans

- vue sur le Port de la Joliette

- diorama 3D : “la Grotte de l’Os”, avec les Grands Pingouins et les Calanques à l’époque, au niveau marin bien plus bas que maintenant.

- reconstitution possible d’une barque néolithique

- vue sur le Cirque 

retour chez moi par le tram !

Lady Granville’s beetle parure and case, 1884–85.

The Victorian obsession with colour led to some disturbing embellishment of natural wonders. This tiara, from the British Museum’s collection, contains the iridescent bodies of 46 South American weevils, gifted by the Portuguese ambassador to the British foreign secretary, Lord Granville.

Won another bid on ebay tonight, dammit... Yes, it is completely unnecessary & expensive but I couldn't help myself. It's Christmas time after all and I've had a great year - of course I deserve a fuckin parure!!! Thoughts? Will post more pics once I receive the package.
