Welcome to September, the month of the glorious sapphire! Let’s kick things off with a post about a British sapphire tiara beloved by two generations of Windsors: the Belgian Sapphire Tiara.
The Belgian Sapphire Tiara
Crown Princess Mary’s Wedding Tiara
Unlike many royal brides, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark’s tiara debut wasn’t on her wedding day. She’d already worn a grand tiara–the diadem from the Danish Ruby Parure–during her pre-wedding celebrations. But on her wedding day, Mary Elizabeth Donaldson wore a different tiara for the first time: a romantic, convertible diamond diadem, a special gift from her new parents-in-law.
The Danish Ruby Parure Tiara
When Queen Mary of Denmark attends glittering events like royal weddings, state banquets, or the annual New Year’s courts, she often wears a distinctive tiara of rubies and diamonds. The tiara isn’t only beautiful–it also has an amazing backstory that travels back two centuries to France and the extravagant imperial coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte.
