QUEEN ALEXANDRINE´S FRINGE TIARA
This big diamond fringe tiara has been made by the Russian jeweller Bolin. It consists of ca. 500 diamonds and is ca. 100 carats. It was given to the mother of Queen Alexandrine, Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia.
When Queen Alexandrine died, she left it to Princess Caroline-Mathilde, who left it to Count Ingolf of Rosenborg. His wife, Countess Sussie now wears this tiara.

In the first picture you'll see a good view of the Art Deco sapphire collier in its original form. The brilliant chain was divided to make 2 necklaces for Princess Margarethe and Princess Anne Marie, the sapphires for a new necklace for Margarethe.
