No, it's just been about one year. Mary wore her wedding tiara in October 2018 at gala event for the parliament and official Denmark. But before that she hasn't worn it till the wedding of Prince Carl Philip.The tiaqra is beautiful but i hope she will also wear her other tiara's again. When was the last time she has worn her Wedding tiara? Mut be some years already.
I am really interested in getting a really good shot of the earrings she is wearing with it. Are they also a relatively new acquisition?
Isn't it amazing that (perhaps a dowager whispered in her ear) Mary was inspired to go against the more common tiara usage of setting her tiara further back and quite low to the head. In these photos her tiara looks like it is almost set at a 45-degree angle and a little more forward, thus allowing a lot more light to refract off both the rubies and the diamonds.
You are correct. You have a very sharp eye. I received the book about the ruby parure for Christmas this year and there is a chapter about the tiara being altered again in 2017. They have have made some changes that revert back towards the Queen Ingrid design.
Is it me, or has CP Mary reconfigured the ruby tiara? It looks taller, especially side on

I'm really bored with the Ruby tiara its been overused by the Crown Princess and not one of my favourites.
It is sad she changed Queen Ingrid's original tiara! It is not hers but her husband.
You make a valid point, Mary has used the parure at lot over the last 15 years. And even though she has been quite inventive in the way she has altered the parure and uses it, the limitations in her jewellery collection means elements of the parure are used often.
The problem lies in that 6 tiaras have left the main DRF line in the last 50 odd years (2 each to Benedikte and Anne-Marie, 1 to each of Joachim's wives), with only a few lacklustre additions: Mary's wedding tiara and the Edwardian tiara she bought recently at auction. I exclude the tiara's on loan to Mary and Marie.
I can only hope that Mary can secure the return of some of these historical jewels to the main line at the appropriate time. For example, I hope to see the sapphire and diamond tiara used by Princess Elizabeth on Mary at some stage. The tiara was not included in the items from her estate that were auctioned recently, so there is hope. Similarly but somewhat controversially, if the 2 tiara's of Danish origin could be returned to the DRF after Anne-Marie's death, the Danish vaults would start to look less sparse. The Greek RF would need to be compensated financially, and possibly it be agreed that the Greek's could borrow them when appropriate.
