New tiara for Queen Mary of Denmark 🇩🇰
Tonight October 19 2026, during the state dinner for the Vietnamese state visit to Denmark, Queen Mary debuted a “new” tiara.
Her Majesty The Queen wore Queen Alexandrine's sapphire jewel in a new design for the first time. The jewel was acquired by the Royal Collection and reimagined in close collaboration with the Queen. The gala dinner was held on the occasion of the state visit of His Excellency the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Tô Lâm, and his wife, Mrs. Ngô Phương Ly.
The piece of jewellery was originally given as a wedding gift to the later Queen Alexandrine at her wedding to the later Christian X in 1898. Since then, it has been worn by several generations of the royal family. Along the way, the piece of jewellery has been continuously redesigned and adapted to keep up with the changing fashion and usage of the time. The Royal Collection acquired the piece of jewellery from a private owner in 2024. Together with jewellery designers Diana Holstein and Hanan Emquies, the Queen, in close collaboration with the Royal Collection, has helped to give the piece of jewellery a new, fully reversible design. A design that respects the piece's history and special tradition and makes it usable today.
The piece can now be worn as a tiara, necklace or brooch, continuing the historical tradition of royal jewellery being adapted to the needs and tastes of new generations.
