andiemac said:mary's new aquamarine choker with pearls which she wore for the romanian state visit says it all. no other crown princess has a choker as big as hers. i bet there will more jewellery from fred since she is his sun and moon. well.. just quoting from his wedding speech to mary.

Margrethe II said:I'm not sure, but maybe it was the fact that HM the Queen Mother Ingrid often wore the Queen Desiree diamond & ruby parure during her time as respective consort that led people to believe that it was infact part of the crown jewels.
It just happend to be a parure that the then HM the Queen (and later Queen Mother) favoured and often wore
I'm not sure if this has already been explained (sorry if it has), but the tiara was actually only half it's current size until HM the Queen Ingrid decided to have it's matching corsage added to add extra height.
