The royal ruby parure worn by HRH Crown Princess Mary of Denmark is a delicate piece of craftsmanship dating back to the early nineteenth century.
• The beautiful set was transferred in 2010 to the Danish jewellery company Dulong Fine Jewelry for one of the century's most extensive restoration projects. Nina Hald has followed this process in detail and provides a fascinating insight into the goldsmith's craft and the development of a new set.
• This publication details the historic context of the ruby set's origin of creation - a time when every woman of standing would own one - and the history of its transmission from generation to generation in the royal families of Sweden and Denmark.
• Moreover the author devotes a whole chapter to the ruby itself and another to the cultural history of the colour red.
Having been fascinated by jewellery and gemstones since her childhood, Nina Hald is now the author of nine books on her specialist subject. As well as contributions to international publications, Nina Hald has also curated three important royal jewellery exhibitions in her native Denmark.
"Quiet and spectacular! – This book discusses a specific antique parure owned by the Danish royal family. It was refurbished and this is the documentation of that refurbishment. Sound dull? Emphatically no. The process has been documented. New techniques, borrowing from old one, were used. The history of the parure is here, as well as anciliary information. If you are into jewelry, the history of jewelry, jewelry techniques, you want this book. The authors books in Danish are hard to find. Based on this book, however, I'd buy all of her books, even though I don't speak Danish. I would urge the author to consider having here books translated into English. My favorite jewelry book this year, and a triumph"
