The Devonshire Parure
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
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.

Empire style diadem from 1805, Napoleonic era
The article talks about Caroline Bonaparte-Murat patronizing the excavations in Pompeii, which caused cameos like these, inspired by antiquity, to come into style. Also, Napoleon had an interest in glyptic art and opened a school in Paris for the art of engraving.

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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.

Diadem with a Pair of Gazelle Heads - Met Museum Collection
Inventory Number: 26.8.99 New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, early, ca. 1479–1425 B.C. Location Information: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Wadi Gabbanat el-Qurud, Wadi D, Tomb of the Three Foreign Wives of Thutmose III
Description:
During her lifetime, a queen wore this delicate diadem tied over her wig. The headband not only identified her elite rank but also identified her as a woman participating in a cultic performance. Tomb depictions illustrate high-ranking women wearing similar ornaments when they took part in rituals that likely honored important goddesses like Hathor, Mut, or Sakhmet. The reason for depicting gazelles is not clear, although they are associated with the sun god, fertility, and rebirth—all subjects connected to these great goddesses. Gazelles inhabit the low desert along the edge of the Nile’s floodplain, often traveling in pairs. This habitat probably explains why these animals figure prominently in a significant myth about the goddesses that takes place in that setting.
