#the queen's diadem

Bigots: Nonbinary is a newfangled thing that the kids are making up.

Carl Jonas Love Almqvist, in 1834: This is my OC, Tintomara. I'm mostly using "she" for her, but nobody knows her true gender or name, she can easily pass as both male and female, and both men and women fall in love with her, though she never reciprocates. Anyway, she just stole the queen's jewels, and now the king got shot. Wacky times!

Queen Mary's Lozenge Tiara Has Been Found!

Queen Mary's Lozenge Tiara which was thought to have been languishing in the vault for six decades has been found with a member of a royal family - just not the British royal family.

The tiara first appeared on Queen Mary in the 1930s though it was likely made a bit earlier. She wore it with thirteen pearl shaped pearls attached to the top but those were removed by the time the tiara made it's way to Princess Margaret.

In 1948, the tiara was worn by Princess Margaret for her first tiara appearances during the inauguration festivities of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. For a long time it was thought to be a loan but now seems to have been an 18th birthday present from her grandmother. She wore it a few times in her early years of tiara wearing but it was never a favorite and the last public appearance was in 1965. Princess Margaret did sell some jewels during her lifetime so it's not out of the question that this tiara was discreetly sold sometime after 1965 with no mention of the owner.

And now the current owner is Queen Azizah of Pahang! The tiara was bought by Queen Azizah in 1988 from a jeweler in New York City with no mention of it's provenance. It has been worn regularly by the family since.

Saad Salman from The Royal Watcher made the connection when he was in Malaysia for the wedding of Prince Muhammad and Natasya Adnan. He mentioned that they might be the same tiara to Queen Azizah and she invited him to take a closer look. She is very interested in historical jewelry and has been great about providing information about the Pahang collection. I'm a little sad because I've long wanted this one to appear on a member of the BRF but it's so wonderful that not only does the tiara still exist but it's still worn instead of being stuck in a vault.

Congrats to Saad for such an amazing discovery!

The Danish Emerald Parure

Perhaps the jewel in the Queen’s crown collection is her Emerald Parure.

Created in 1840 for Queen Caroline Amalie, the set includes a tiara, a necklace, earrings, and a corsage brooch.

27 of the diadem’s emeralds date back to 1723, making the collection incredibly historically significant.

While the colour is in-keeping with the current Queen Margrethe’s more outlandish style, we can see Crown Princess Mary reaching for the tiara or earrings for big state events.

The Danish Ruby Parure

Crown Princess Mary has already made herself familiar with this unique piece.

Like a naughty daughter venturing into a mother's wardrobe, Mary has not waited until her ascension to borrow this spectacular ruby set even adorning the headpiece for her and Crown Prince Frederik's official ascension portraits.

Made for the coronation of Napoleon in 1804, the parure includes the intricately designed crown, necklace, brooch, and earrings.

The Danish Crown Diamond Parure

This necklace, brooch, and earring set has timeless beauty.

Made for Queen Caroline Amalie in 1840, the parure is reserved only for the most significant occasions, such as the wedding of Mary and Frederik in 2004.

As such, the pieces will undoubtedly hold a special place in both Margrethe and Mary's hearts.

The Floral Bracelet Choker

The choker has recently come back into fashion, and Margarethe shows this floral piece off well in a boat-necked gown.

This is one of Margrethe's favourite pieces, leading us to wonder if she will part with her jewels as well as the crown on Sunday.

The timeless piece belonged to Queen Louise of Sweden and was initially designed as a bracelet, though the always-innovating Margrethe started wearing it as a choker in the 1980s.

The Crown Pearl and Ruby Parure with the Floral Aigrette Tiara

This parure is an extensive set, including a large pearl necklace, pearl, ruby and diamond earrings, two pearl clasps, and two ruby and diamond links.

The parure was worn here with the Floral Aigrette diadem.

The leafy diamond structure was acquired by King Frederik IX for Queen Margrethe's mother in the 1960s.

The piece is versatile and can be separated to lessen the overall effect, which may be favourable for Mary's more subtle style.

Queen Margrethe has revealed that her hairdresser enjoys styling her hair using the dazzling pieces.

The Turquoise Daisy Bandeau

This girlish beauty has already been passed along to Mary.

The flowery headpiece is elegant and playful, featuring a band of delicate daisies in a bold aquamarine.

The Palmette Tiara

This curly crown is more effeminate than Mary's current fashion would indicate. Having said that, its intricate beauty and alluring sparkle is undeniable.

The tiara is made up of diamond palmettes and flowers, set upon a link-effect diamond base.

The piece was created in 1856 for Princess Louise of Prussia when she married Grand Duke Frederick.

Queen Ingrid lent Queen Margrethe the diadem in the 1960s, before she officially inherited it on her mother's passing in 2000.

Most notably, she has worn it to the wedding of Crown Prince Haakon of Norway and the wedding of Princess Märtha Louise of Norway.

Vernal maiden in the crown of wildflowers, Soon to be the queen of every shining gem In the realm below where gloom overpowers Any confidence to forever judge and condemn, May you be still blessed in numerous showers Of jewels that shall become your new diadem.

1500s WOMEN - PART 2

The 1400s gave way to the incredibly iconic accessories of the 1500s, namely hoods (both Gabled and French) and ruffs. While the end of the Tudor era saw the popularity of headdresses decline in favour of uncovered hair decorated with jewels, diadems, and feathers, prior to that headdresses were a vital part of court dress. In fact, the style of hood worn was often used as a political statement amongst the nobility. Hats had always been in fashion for men, but the 16th century saw them also become a fashion staple for women. CC links and reference images under the cut.

could you please draw twilight as her grown adult self from the final episode? i’d love to see your take on princess twilight celestia recolor sparkle :]

Thank you for the ask!

While I was drawing Queen Twilight I went ahead and also did Princess Twilight. Instead of wearing a full crown all the time, I thought she'd wear a little comb in her bun with the spark of magic and only wears a crown/diadem when she becomes queen. For her queen form I tried to reflect the both the night sky and magic in her mane (the purple bits are a bit more firey ig) I don't really like the weird breast plates the princesses are wearing, so I went with simple jewelry, as I don't think Twilight would like to wear too much (or anything flashy)
