The rose-cut diamond set


03 December 2024

For almost 100 years, the rose-cut diamond set have lived a quit life on display underneath Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen. The Danish crown jewels are exhibited at Rosenborg for the public to see them.

The rose-cut diamond set goes back to the 1840s and was last worn by Queen Lovisa. She was the wife of King Frederik VIII. The Court Jeweller has written an article about its history. They also show a photo of the full parure.

In collaboration with Kongernes Samling (the Royal Collection), the Queen has decided to bring back the diamond set. The biggest diamonds from the necklace are now able to be worn as a tiara! The tiaras construction makes it a 'bandeau'. The new frame is created by goldsmith Matias Hasbo Dinesen in collaboration with Queen Mary and Kongernes Samling.

Remember to follow my royal Christmas calendar.



The royal court allowed us a glimpse of the process transforming the diamond set into a tiara with photos and a video interview with Director of Kongernes Samling Thomas C. Thulstrup. The interview is clearly recorded at Frederik VIII's palace at Amalienborg - the royal family's main residence.

All natural, Mary looked beautiful in a simple dark blue knitted turtleneck and likely black trousers. She paired her outfit with brand new glasses from Tom Ford and a black satin scrunchie. I am still to identify that.
