Queen Mary’s ‘beautiful’ bracelet with special meaning

King Frederik and Queen Mary set off for their state visit to the Faroe Islands yesterday, and were unexpectedly joined by their 14-year-old daughter Princess Josephine.

On the first day of their visit, the mother-of-four was pictured in the most beautiful outfit, dressing in a manner that’s super stylish and highly respectful.

Attending a gala dinner at Hotel Foeroyar, Queen Mary stepped out in predominantly Faroese national dress, paying homage to the islands’ culture, including a gorgeous bracelet that has a special meaning.

It also features a magnificent floral motif, which was designed by artist Astrid Andreassen in collaboration with her daughter.

The entire ensemble of national dress was actually gifted to the mother of Princess Isabella when she first visited the island as Crown Princess back in 2005. It features a dark green apron and scarf with a daisy pattern and silver embellishments, and a knitted sweater with a red and black design.

In her typical manner, Queen Mary styled the national dress with a few pieces from her own wardrobe, respecting the islands’ cultural heritage while putting her own spin on it.

Channelling Carrie Bradshaw, the 53-year-old brought out a brand new pair of Manolo Blahniks, which feature a splendid jewelled embellishment toward the toe.
