Queen Caroline Amalie of Denmark's Emerald Parure Tiara
Creation: The parure was made by C.M. Weissshaupt in 1840. It uses 26 emeralds King Christian VI gave to Queen Sophie Magdalene in 1723 and 41 emeralds that belonged to Princess Charlotte of Denmark.
Queen Caroline Amalie left the parure to the Danish Crown Jewels which
means that it cannot be taken outside of Denmark or be worn by anyone
other than the queen. In 1914, Queen Alexandrine had the Crown Jewels sent to Rosenborg Castle where they can still be viewed by the public.
Queen Louise
Queen Ingrid
Materials: 67 emeralds and 2,650 diamonds in the parure
