Dronning Ingrids halssmykke – Queen Ingrid’s necklace.
Written by Helle Skram de Fries.
The more observant among you may have noticed that Joachim and la Marie have posed for a new set of official pictures and those with an interest for jewels will immediately have spotted the new piece of jewellery Marie wore in a thin chain around her neck.
In fact it’s not a new piece of jewellery, it belonged to the late Queen Ingrid, who in turn got it from her mother-in-law (svigermor) and it has now been handed down to Princess Marie.
It basically consists of one big diamond, surrounded by a cluster of diamonds with the odd sapphire in between. The only thing that has changed is the chain.
Marie just like Mary never got to meet the formidable Queen Ingrid, who meant so much for both Joachim and Frederik.
