It’s a new month, so it’s time to delve into the jewelry collection of a new royal lady! Our Magpie of the Month for February is Princess Marie of Denmark, who celebrates her birthday today. We’re kicking things off with a look at her wedding jewels.

Before we talk bridal tiaras, we have to look at Marie’s unusual engagement rings. I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say that this is perhaps the most controversial royal engagement ring of all time, at least style-wise.

The gold ring is set with a trio of stones: a ruby, a diamond, and a sapphire. The gems mimic the French flag, a nod from Prince Joachim (who is half French himself) to Marie’s French roots.

On her wedding day, Marie wore her engagement ring on her right hand, making way for her new gold wedding band on her left.

Marie’s wedding tiara comes from the collection of her mother-in-law, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. The diamond floral sparkler once belonged to Margrethe’s great-aunt, Princess Dagmar. Marie has continued to wear this tiara regularly since her wedding; the tiara’s diamond designs are generally more distinct when worn without a veil. (You can read more about the tiara here!)

Marie paired the tiara with a pair of dramatic diamond earrings.

The delicate design of the earrings echoed some of the lace patterns in Marie’s gown and veil.
