The Danish Floral Aigrette Tiara

The Danish Floral Aigrette Tiara is a versatile piece in the collection of the Danish royal family.

The tiara dates from the 1950s and can be broken down into three sections, allowing it to be worn in all sorts of ways. It was previously owned by Lauritz Melchior, whose wife was photographed wearing it in the 1960s.

It was bought by King Frederik IX of Denmark in 1963 for his wife, Queen Ingrid. She wore it at the wedding of her daughter Princess Margrethe to Henri Laborde de Monpezat in 1967. She wore it often before gifting it to Margrethe in 1985.

Margrethe has worn it often and in many different ways.¹
