Our look back at the jewels of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark’s 70th birthday celebrations continues with the jewels worn by Princess Marie for the birthday dinner at Christiansborg!

Marie chose a vintage-style gown in white for the occasion, which served as a lovely backdrop for the sash and insignia of the Order of the Elephant.

With the white gown and blue sash, Marie appropriately wore diamonds and sapphires.

Marie almost always wears Princess Dagmar’s Floral Tiara, which has been on loan to her from Queen Margrethe since her wedding day in 2008, for gala events. This time, she paired the diamond floral tiara with a simple pair of diamond stud earrings.

She secured the sash of the Order of the Elephant with a small diamond floral brooch. She began wearing the brooch in 2009, debuting it during the celebrations of Prince Henrik’s 75th birthday.

But perhaps the most impressive jewel was the pendant she suspended from a delicate chain. The piece, Queen Alexandrine’s Diamond and Sapphire Pendant, belonged to Queen Margrethe’s grandmother, Queen Alexandrine of Denmark. It was later worn by both Queen Ingrid and Queen Margrethe. This dinner was Marie’s first appearance in the jewel, which she has worn on numerous occasions since.

I know we were all looking forward to a truly grand royal celebration this month: the 80th birthday of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. Because the bejeweled events had to be canceled, I thought it was high time we took a look back at how she celebrated her birthday ten years ago: with detailed posts on the guests’ jewels all week long!

We’ll start with the glittering white-tie birthday dinner held at Christiansborg Palace on April 13, 2010, which was attended by Margrethe and members of her family.

Margrethe was resplendent in a striking coral-red gown with the pale blue sash of the Order of the Elephant, plus one of her signature fur stoles.

The star of the jewelry show was undoubtedly the Pearl Poiré Tiara. This stately diadem, which features eighteen pear-shaped pearl pendants that swing freely from the diamond-encrusted tiara, was a wedding gift in 1825 to Princess Louise of the Netherlands from her father, King Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia. The tiara came to Denmark via Louise’s granddaughter, Queen Lovisa of Denmark, who inherited it in 1871.

In her will, Queen Lovisa placed the tiara in a jewelry trust, and it has since been worn by every subsequent Danish queen: Queen Alexandrine, Queen Ingrid, and Queen Margrethe II. Margrethe often selects the tiara for particularly grand occasions, including official state portraits.

For her birthday dinner in 2010, Queen Margrethe also wore Princess Louise’s Diamond and Pearl Drop Brooch, which was made at the same time as the tiara as a coordinating jewel. The brooch features five pearl pendants suspended from a complicated diamond scroll design, as well as a diamond and pearl cluster.

The rest of the jewels worn by Margrethe for the birthday dinner weren’t made to go with the tiara and the brooch, but they’re often worn together as a married parure. The Khedive of Egypt Diamond and Pearl Necklace was given to Queen Lovisa in 1869 as a wedding present by Ismail Pasha, the Khedive of Egypt.

She also wore the coordinating Khedive of Egypt Diamond and Pearl Earrings. These were made later by repurposing two pearl and diamond pendants that were originally attached to the necklace.

Margrethe famously has an elaborate toi et moi engagement ring, and on this occasion, she showcased a second toi et moi ring — this one set with a diamond and a pearl. This ring comes from the collection of Margrethe’s late mother, Queen Ingrid. In 1947, Ingrid wore the ring in an official portrait, which also features the Pearl Poiré Tiara.

She also wore her engagement ring on her left hand with her wedding ring. You’ll also spot gold bracelets on her left wrist, including the gold bangle worn by all of Queen Ingrid’s female descendants.
