マルグレーテ女王が宮殿の案内をされている動画は以前上げましたが、今回は宝石類の回。マメな方ですね。歴史を動画に残しておきたいと思われているのかも。
マルグレーテ女王のティアラの中で、これだけ３つセットになっていてとても変わっているな、と思っていました。
She also talks about the tiara she wore that day, the Floral Aigrette, which is shown as part of the Queen’s Jewelry Box exhibition. She tells us about her father’s acquisition of the tiara, about the way her mother wore it, and about the way she took the tiara off its frame to experiment with its three sections after she inherited it.

The Connaught Sapphire Brooch. “It is a very elegant brooch and very adorable, I would say,” Margrethe notes. She received the brooch as a gift from her mother, Queen Ingrid, during Ingrid’s lifetime. It had belonged to Ingrid’s mother, Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden.Following the birth of Prince Christian, Margrethe decided to give the sapphire brooch to Crown Princess Mary, who wore it for Christian’s christening (and, later, for the christening of her twins). “I thought the brooch should go to her,” Margrethe explains. “The Crown Prince was very close to my mother. I thought it would have delighted her that he now had a son, and that his adorable wife got the brooch.”

The episode focusing on “love gifts” wraps up with a lovely tribute to several jewels given to the Queen by her late husband, Prince Henrik. We briefly see the gold and turquoise necklace he gave her for 75th birthday in April 2015. Henrik purchased the turquoises himself in Egypt.

And we get a lovely close-up look at the suite of jewels he commissioned for their silver wedding anniversary in 1992. The gold, diamond, ruby, and pearl set was made by one of the couple’s favorite jewelers, Torben Hardenberg. Margrethe calls Hardenberg “very, very imaginative” in her exhibition narration, and she declares that the silver wedding suite is “absolutely magnificent.”
We see the central element of the necklace (which can be removed and worn separately as a brooch) in great detail. Margrethe describes this section as “a heart made in quite small, fine, fine gold work.” She adds, “It’s a piece of jewelry that I appreciate tremendously.”
They also talk about the Danish crown jewels. The collection that consists of four parures bequeathed to the crown by Queen Sophie Magdalene, wife of King Christian VI, in the 1740s. The parures (two diamond sets, a ruby and pearl set, and an emerald set) were later redesigned by Queen Caroline Amalie, wife of King Christian VIII, in the 1840s. Margrethe notes that the diamond and emerald set was renovated for Christian and Caroline Amalie’s coronation. She also states that the emeralds are very rare, both because of their very intense green color and because they lack significant inclusions.
