The Alexandrine Diamond Drop Tiara originally belonged to Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Queen of Denmark and Iceland. It was given to the future Queen Margrethe II of Denmark for her 18th birthday.
The provenance of the tiara is somewhat unclear. It features scads of teardrop-shaped diamonds suspended en tremblant. Margrethe wore the tiara frequently when she was younger. In 1995, Queen Margrethe gave the Alexandrine Diamond Drop Tiara to her daughter-in-law, Princess Alexandra, the first wife of her younger son, Prince Joachim.
Alexandra wore the tiara on her wedding day, the only one she ever wore during her marriage to Prince Joachim. The couple divorced in 2005.
Alexandra kept the tiara when they divorced and has worn it since then.1
