Interesting also that the spanish royal Couple did not wear the minatures of the german order of Merit at the State Dinner, unlike Queen Margrethe, Crown Prince Frederik and the dutch King and Queen last year.
It is indeed a nice piece. Hopefully it is the Queen's own and that we will see it more in the future.
But do we know it is an aquamarine? Could it not also be a Sapphire? In some photos it looks a bit "too blue" to appear as an aquamarine (to my very inexepertly eyes).
I was also very glad to see that she did indeed bring a tiara with her even though the dress code for the State Dinner was black-tie. Something that maybe others could take notice of And orders were worn, even though they were only the smaller pins. I have seen at some black-tie State Dinners in the past (also in Lithuania) that the gentlemen have worn at least the Breast Star pinned to their jacket. Is that now not done? It this also now considered "too much glitter"?
A nice jewel!
