Queen Margrethe of Denmark opens her jewelery box in a new exhibition on the occasion of her 50 years on the throne
The exhibition has more than 200 pieces from the Majesty's jewelery collection, all of them referring to one or more events, both private and official, during this half 50 years of the Queen.
Her private jewelry collection contains inherited and newly acquired jewelry throughout her nearly 82-year life, alluding to the most important events or people.
In fact, one of her most beloved treasures is the set of diamond brooch and earrings in the shape of a daisy, the symbol of her country, which she received from her mother and which she wore on her wedding dress. In his Golden Jubilee, he was not missing very close to his heart either.
Diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, pearls... All imaginable precious stones are kept in this very special jewelery box, considered one of the most lavish of European Crowns.
Some of the sets to her credit are well known and have been worn since she ascended the throne, such as the famous perlon set she wore on her first posing as queen and has worn on numerous occasions.
All of them are worn on grand gala occasions, according to their importance, with bombastic long dresses. True to her creative and original spirit, Margarita usually combines her use, putting on a tiara as a necklace, or the other way around, or a brooch as a pendant.
In short, the image of a queen in all her majesty is revealed, who has now wanted citizens who wish to can also get closer, even a little, to her jewelery box.
