Ten years later, in July 2009 Princess Mathilde received an equally impressive diamond and sapphire ring, also commissioned at Wolfers.
In 2022 Mathilde had her second ring altered to a new design.
Apart from her wedding band, these are the only two rings Mathilde usually wears.
However there are three more, a kunzite & diamond ring, a sapphire ring and one with a green gemstone that are worn occasionally.
On occasion Mathilde has also been seen wearing a few rings without gemstones, like this one from 2006.
Or this one in 1999:

BeantwoordenVerwijderenLooks like the sapphire is still the same and they redesigned the band – to make it smaller and easier to wear? Mathilde’s old sapphire ring hasn’t been seen from mid-December till now. Very unusual, it used to be her favourite.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe design indeed looks like Leysen or De Greef. Now, I don’t have their budget to spend on jewels so it’s probably stingy, but I wouldn’t go for a new sapphire ring with an almost identical stone if I already have one. So I hope they also redesigned the old ring and mounted a nice emerald or aquamarine in the old band. Or another possibility: the old ring got lost and they went for something similar.
I agree it looks like the same whopper sapphire. I do like the more delicate design of this new one.
VerwijderenI have the feeling that the stone in de New ring is bigger (widder)... look at the how the New ring covers more of the finger...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenInderdaad new and bigger
VerwijderenAnd yhere us a new one. Emerald ring. Look on google for queen mathilde emerald ring.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThere is another emerald ring, set. Look on google for wedding brother queen Mathilde.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI think that the Green cabochon ring is from Queen Fabiola’s Tunisian Parure … pretty much same design !
