Queen Mary Makes New Diamond Bandeau Tiara Out of Rosecut Diamonds from the Danish Crown Jewels

[@danishpastry6137]

Knowing how she had trepidation when altering the ruby set she recieved when Queen Mary married the then Crown Prince, I applaud this. Queen Mary has really grown into her role within the Royal family, but still seems to remain grounded.

Thanks for this video Brittney, Ive enjoyed this video so much! I love the process and the science behind making jewelry, clothes and making these ladies look flawless!

Queen Mary’s stunning diamond bandeau tiara crafted from Danish Crown Jewels is a masterpiece! 👑💎✨

[@millawitt1882]

We are so happy to have Queen Mary -she represents Denmark so amazingly with her love for our beautiful country and she has already given us so much as our Queen and we are so proud and grateful for her🇩🇰👍😀❤️

[@laurabarkovitz55]

Fine jewelry is the ultimate recyclable! I am so glad that Queen Mary is allowing the pieces under her stewardship to evolve to meet the needs of the present while respecting their past.

[@brendaryan306]

I love that it's just been collecting dust and Queen Mary has been brainstorming with her jeweller on a new, updated way to use these in tiara form.

[@annalohde9527]

She looks lovely without makeup .

[@ohmightywez]

She is a naturally beautiful woman, and attractive, too in her personality. She's done an amazing job in adapting to her home and the culture and customs. It also seems like she's doing a wonderful job raising her family to understand their roles but also to be down to earth.

[@Klnielsen]

@@ohmightywezThey raise their family together and our King is known to be very much down to Earth as Well 😊

[@ohmightywez]

@@Klnielsen He certainly seems very wise in his choice of queen, wife, and mother to his children. I’ve seen some interviews with them and he seems to be a very warm and genuine person, which explains how he would have been attracted to an extremely lovely, but “average” young woman. I would argue that time has shown she is exceptional and above average. You’re fortunate in your royal family.

[@ritz7825]

I love Queen Mary's style and exquisite taste. I am also obsessed with Queen Margrethe's "Floral Aigrette" Tiara. It's a beautiful wreath style and will look gorgeous on Mary's dark hair so I hope it's gifted to her.👑

[@WBCRO]

I love her Aigrette tiara too. She’s worn it in so many configurations. Just fascinating!

[@annmolloy8600]

I’m wondering if that is the one she worn broken apart to form diamond clips at the back of her hair, which was stunning. Queen Margrette’ hair always looked stunning, as does Mary’s hair. ❤

[@ellenleeschwartz-]

The Floral Aigrette Tiara is part of the Danish Royal Property Trust. It isn’t Queen Margrethe’s personal Tiara. It remains to be seen whether Queen Margrethe will keep it until her death, or whether Queen Mary will wear it.

[@Mehitabel18]

I just remembered that when I was a little girl we called a firm headband a bandeau! Brittany you are one of the hardest workers I know, and that’s saying a LOT!

[@RoyalFashionNews]

Aww, why thank you so much!!

[@dianeknight4839]

It is a good thing that the stones will get to see the light of day. These beautiful items were made to be seen, not languish in a vault gathering dust. It makes me wonder what treasures lie in the British RF vaults.

Queen Mary is stunning. The emerald parure and the Ruby parure are gorgeous.

[@mezzamuddle]

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

"For the first time in 180 years, we are reshaping one of the crown jewels." This is a revival of a centuries old traditions. Gems from jewelry of types that have gone out of fashion are reused in more modern pieces.

[@TorchwoodPandP]

The original setting has not been changed. Just the central part of the belt taken out to be used in this new tiara setting. I hope Brittany’s guess is right, that one or both of the other pieces are used, either as a matching necklace, or else as bracelets? Love that Mary is renewing the entire parure! ❤❤❤

[@Jack-py3cv]

Brittany, you are pointing out the tiaras Queen Mary had access to as a Crown Princess. She now wears the Emerald parure, the Pearl Poire tiara she looked stunning in Norway and at least one gold tiara from Greenland. Queen Mary also has unlimited access to the Midnight tiara, which I think looks amazing on her. She is brilliantly refashioning a new tiara but she was not had to “go begging” for beautiful tiaras to wear.

[@Barbara-g5q6b]

Love that you are showing us the making of a new tiara for Mary it’s a wonderful insight thank you Brittany

[@AliceODonnell-mg3rx]

That's an amazing idea and a very classical look for a tiara. If it's as easy as it looks to slot the jewels in maybe she could add other jewels and have a tiara that changes in style and colour. that'd be cool too.

[@WBCRO]

“Tiaras are afoot.” 😆😆😆. Yaaaass!! And we’re here for it! 🙌🏻

[@patrishhunter9256]

I want to see Catherine have a tiara made in the design of her Coronation headpiece. It was beautiful!! A perfect, smaller version of Charlotte's headpiece would be absolutely lovely as a gift as Charlotte's first tiara!

[@lauriedavis5137]

Such a great idea!! Go Queen Mary! Its beautiful!! Thanks Brittany, you have done a great job as usual! Kudos! ❤❤❤

[@sandyhart1028]

Loved this video Brittany! Wow Queen Mary is at once beautiful, stylish & oh so clever!

[@Purr_Majesty_the_Queen]

Love the video and I’m excited for the debut - hopefully soon! You are so right about the wedding tiara… looks like costume jewelry/something you’d find at Claire’s. Mary is smart to release this video showing her “up cycling” unused jewels as to not cause outrage (in today’s climate) when it’s debuted. Between that, the messy bun, and scrunchie on the wrist, it’s a great PR move as it makes her look relatable, resourceful, and sensible. Women all over the world: yes, girl.. with that messy bun!

[@BjarneSteenJensen]

I once asked Queen Margrethe if she would once wear the belt. But she told me that she didn't think so. What about using it in HM's hair I then said. Well no was the answer. I am so glad that my wish now has come true.

[@beatieswanepoel3004]

She really loves tiaras, Love how she also configurated the design of the Ruby tiara

[@asbisi]

Personally I think she ruined it. It looked much better on her before the alteration.

[@theresa42213]

Qatar, and Egypt .......What are those royals up to? This is wonderful to see Mary sans makeup and hair-doo. Thank you for doing this Brittany! Very interesting indeed.

[@firelunamoon]

It really makes sense to expand the tiara collection in this way - honouring the history of the royal family, and reducing the need to purchase new pieces. As Mary's daughters grow up they will need more tiaras for them, which maybe factored into the decision to modify this set. I love the Dutch diamond bandeau tiara as well and I'm really excited to see Mary wear this one!

[@LouiseAndersen1991]

Translation: "For the first time in over 180 years, we are currently transforming part of the Crown Jewels. Together with Queen Mary, we are reviving the Royal Collection, a centuries-long tradition of reshaping the Danish crown jewels according to the changing needs of the times, while also bringing the rarely used Rosenstenssæt back to life. The idea was created in a joint dialogue with the Queen about the use of the Crown Jewels. This long chain has hardly ever been used for several generations.From a dialogue with the Queen, an idea arose to mount these stones in a frame so that it could be worn as a diadem. It has been a challenging task for the goldsmith, who has not been able to touch the settings, but instead had to find another solution, whereby you can take the stones out of the long chain, keep them in their settings and then mount them on a frame, so that we get a tiara. The Rosenstens Tiara is soon to be completed, and like the other parts of the Crown Jewels, it will be worn on special occasions. But otherwise you can see it every day in the treasury deep under Rosenborg Castle." Now mind you - while I can translate Danish to English and English to Danish there might be one or two words I missed and that is why I use Google translate for something like this. But I do think you got the gist of what was said here.

[@LouiseAndersen1991]

Also: When in Copenhagen, and knowing how far away you live, you deffintly need to go and visit Rosenborg! If you are not going home until saturday evening/sunday, you should have the time to go there - and go in the morning as you might otherwise not have the time

[@gilgabe]

This is exciting and I do love the idea that Queen Mary of Denmark is having this tiara made out of this old diamond sautoir. I think it is also perfect that instead of having it made like the Dutch tiara, Queen Mary's new tiara looks like the diamonds will be elevated from the frame and looks like they will be en-tremblant style although as you mentioned it would be nice if she had it made with a second row of diamonds which will be spectacular. The Danish royal jewelry collection although old but most of the tiaras are not spectacular pieces but this new tiara if done with two rows of diamonds will be star in the collection.

[@erinobrien8793]

I like the entremblant movement of the tiara. Older tiaras such as, floral tiaras, sometimes have that design. As the wearer moves their head the light catches the diamonds and makes it seem sparklier. Q: doesn’t Queen Mary have access to the Moonstone tiara as a loan?

[@Izzieq1]

Yes, the midnight tiara is owned by the jewelry house but on permanent loan to Queen Mary.

[@Jack-py3cv]

Brittany has not mentioned many tiaras that Queen Mary now has access to. Her list is really the tiaras Crown Princess Mary could wear, except the Midnight tiara, which was not mentioned. A great idea to create this amazing tiara. Queen Mary will look beautiful, as usual.

[@ShinbiBelldandy]

I love this too! Repurposing or refashioning stuff you already have is more affordable than buying brand new. Plus, the jewels from the past are typically better quality & have historical value than anything new. Some people said this tiara is "too young" for Queen Mary, but I disagree. Besides, she may be thinking towards the future for her daughters & niece. It'll be a good starter tiara for them!

[@Apulia2001]

I hope she doesn't give up the ruby tiara. I think it is so beautiful Glad for the new pieces, of course.

I love that Queen Mary has made tiara out of a old diamond belt. She must have gotten inspired by the royal danish family's diamond bandeau and wanted one for herself. I make to take a moment to point out that you're finally acknowledging the similarities between Princess Catherine of Wales and Queen Mary of Denmark, I noticed it the first time at The Coronation of King Charles III back when Mary was the Crown Princess. I didn't know that they're both related to Queen Mary I until know. But which one of these women has a Scottish father? Also This is my first time seeing the Queen Mary without makeup.

[@RoyalFashionNews]

Well, I’ve noticed the similarity for a long time but just haven’t mentioned it much. Mary’s father is Scottish! Thanks for watching!!

[@voxfugit]

Thanks for doing this particular upload. I found it very interesting. Had you not done so I’m sure I never would’ve heard about it. I saw the exhibit of Cartier jewelry when he came to Dallas. And there were several tiara’s in that particular exhibit that were likely made for I believe they said George the fifth’s coronation for minor Royals or lesser persons in aristocracy who were attending the coronation. In effect, we were seeing history here. the cut of those stones takes us back into the 18th century. The ability to watch them as they were in effect, constructing the tiara and why they were using those particular stones because of the history of dress of the time in which they were originally made or cut rather is just fascinating. thank you for the wonderful commentary to help us understand what was being said, perhaps by the gentleman who was speakingDanish. Indeed, I hope we see this on her and the dress that she may have had designed to go with it.

What a fun project!. Will queen Mary become the same as Britains Queen Mary! She added jewelry team and changed other items to suit her taste how wonderful in danish queen could take old not used or fragile items and rework them to be useable.

The crown jewels of Denmark are on display in the basement of Rosenborg castle in the center of Copenhagen. They are in quite small rooms in the basement, so it is an intimate, close-up experience. There are old crowns and other regalia which are never used anymore (with respect, I hope Mary does not get her hands on them. Just leave them be!) Very interesting to see. Definitely go there, it is the cutest castle I have ever seen.
