To visit my website Regal Events use this link:
I agree with your selection too as these were the jewels popping up in my head when reading the descriptions of the jewels worn. I mean, those diamonds in the necklace in your first photo are HUGE - easily comparable to hazlenuts I think
But then we come to the fourth evening of the visit and the Empress is said to have worn emeralds. Do we know of any grand emerald jewels belonging to the Empress? I know that there were a lot of grand emeralds in the Russian Royal Family and Empress Alexandra Feodorovna did own an emerald set. But I cannot recall having heard of Dagmar owning emeralds.
I find it so interesting that the Danish Royal Family called relatives from Britain, Russia and the United Kingdom to participate in the State Visit! I wonder how many other times that may have happened!
I have included pictures of the Tiaras and jewels which I think the Empress may have worn according to the descriptions from Kongetro's article!
For the State Banquet on the first evening, Empress Maria Feodorovna was:
"reported to have worn Diamonds as big as hazelnuts"
The second evening, the Empress wore:
"a crown of Diamonds and Sapphires, a necklace consisting of a long chain of Pearls with a rare large Sapphire as pendant"
On the third evening she wore:
"a Diamond tiara, around her neck Diamonds competing in brilliance with the enormous Pearls in the necklace, long rows of Pearls reaching all the way down to the waist of her dress"
