The jewelry comes from Copenhagen designer Charlotte Lingard
and Mary first wore it publicly at King Carl the 16th, Gustav of Sweden's 70.

She sported it at several other occasions since,
like a French state visit to Denmark in 2018,
and business trips including one to Rome.
That year, this banquet marked part of the Danish royal's first official state visit to Australia
since King Frederick took the throne in 2024, after.
