At the time of Princess Dagmars marriage to Tsareivic Alexander her father had become king,but her parents chose to not attend the wedding in St Petersburg because they were embarrassed about looking to poor compared to the Romanovs so I doubt that their gift was as extravagant as the Dagmar necklace. The new King and Queen had a limited private fortune and with the exception of the Crown jewels Queen Louise had few significant pieces of jewellery herself.
I have found that The Princess received an elaborately decorated set of books and a painting of flowers by the artist Anthonore Christensen, but I don't know by whom. Previous Message
When Queen Alexandra married Edward VII she was given the Dagmar Necklace. Does anyone know what her sisters were given, especially the Tsarina?
