I may be wrong, but I understand from the reading of Rosenborg Castle's website and of the Danish monarchy's website that only four of the parures exhibited in Rosenborg are considered as "Crown Jewels" and, as such, are at the disposal of the Danish Queens: the emerald parure, the diamond parure (diamond drop necklace with matching earrings and bouquet corsage brooch), the other diamond parure (two diamond rivieres and three diamond brooches, combining into one bigger corsage brooch) and the ruby, pearl and diamond set. So the other jewels (including the ones shown on the picture in JohnPete's initial post) would be "mere" museum exhibits, and not available for the Danish Queens. Just a guess, though, not a certainty...

maybe too fragile, or maybe lost their nachre.
If it was a matter of taste though, Queen Ingrid also did not wear these as far as I know.
Maybe too old and fragile or just not The Queen’s taste?
I am intrigued by the photo below from The Court Jeweler website. Why do we never see these luscious pearls on Queen Margrethe?
