Queen Mary of Denmark's recent appearance at a fashion gala dinner in Copenhagen showcased her impeccable taste in jewelry, with a particular focus on sustainability. Her ensemble featured a green jacquard skirt from H&M's Conscious Collection, a line known for its eco-friendly materials, and a pair of diamond waterfall earrings, a decade-old piece that embodies the summit's message of sustainability.
The earrings, valued at $6,200, were sold by the Danish auction house Bruun Rasmussen in 2016. While it's uncertain if Queen Mary purchased them at the auction, her public debut with the earrings in 2017 suggests ownership. Mary's frequent wear of the earrings, including a loan to her elder daughter, Princess Isabella, for her 18th birthday gala concert, further cements their significance.
Adding to her ensemble, Mary wore a gold Cartier love bracelet, diamond-encrusted bands, and a bespoke emerald and diamond ring from Annikat, a brand she has owned pieces from for over a decade. This collection includes diamond bracelets resembling wings, which she wore with the diamond waterfall earrings for the Grand Egyptian Museum opening in Cairo.
Mary's jewelry choices reflect her commitment to sustainability and her appreciation for unique, high-quality pieces. Her ability to mix old and new, and her frequent public appearances wearing these items, make her a trendsetter in the royal fashion world. As an expert commentator, I find it fascinating how she seamlessly blends sustainability with elegance, setting a trend for environmentally conscious fashion choices among the elite.
