The Midnight Tiara from the Danish Royal Family is one of the easily recognizable tiaras around. Created in 2009 for an exhibition at the Amalienborg along with other historical pieces. Created by Charlotte Lynggaard, it features 18-carat rose and white gold and black oxidized silver making up the delicately-shaped leaves as well as 31 flower buds made up by 1,300 diamonds and several moonstones in various shapes. The whole tiara is made to allude a starry night sky.
While this tiara isn't privately owned nor owned by the family foundation, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark has exclusive rights to borrow it. She wore it to Prince Henrik's 75th birthday celebrations in 2009 and on Queen Margrethe's 70th birthday celebrations in 2010. The tiara is part of a collection that includes a brooch and earrings of the same design, which the Crown Princess has been seen wearing already. Considering it costs about a million danish crowns, this arrangement seems to please all parties. Not to mention it promotes modern Danish design. Most recently, the Crown Princess wore it to the wedding of Princess Madeleine of Sweden.
Personally, I find that the unusual design makes it difficult to perfectly match with the right outfit. Even though the magpie in me wishes there was a lot more sparkle, it wins in uniqueness and modernity.
