Page 3 NOTE
The sources from which I have drawn the materials for this book are various; they come largely from private papers, and from articles contributed to magazines and newspapers by contemporary writers, French, English, and American. I had not at first intended the work for publication, and I omitted to make notes which would have enabled me to restore to others the "unconsidered trifles" that I may have taken from them.
As far as possible, I have endeavored to remedy this; but should any other writer find a gold thread of his own in my embroidery, I hope he will look upon it as an evidence of my appreciation of his work, and not as an act of intentional dishonesty.

Jewels of The Splendour of Power (Part 1)

I’ve got a special treat for you today, magpies: a peek into a major jewelry exhibition currently on display in Denmark! Lovely reader Alberta paid a visit to The Splendour of Power at Koldinghus recently, and she has generously shared some of her photographs from the exhibit with me so that I can share them with all of you! There are so many great pieces on display that I’m dividing them up into a few posts, and today’s is all about tiaras.
| The Pearl Poire Tiara (Image kindly shared by Alberta; do not reproduce!) |
The exhibition’s mission is to display “a selection of magnificent and unique Danish and European pieces to illustrate the ability of jewellery to capture our fascination and act as statements of shifting power structures over the past 750 years.” Accordingly, the Danish royals have made numerous important pieces of jewelry available for display. Among the grandest is the Pearl Poire Tiara from Queen Margrethe II’s collection. (Learn more about the history of the tiara here!)
