I believe the Garter is still regarded as part of the New Zealand order system - or at least it was back in the 1980s. The same applies to the Royal Victorian Order. They are both the Queen´s gift, as opposed to an award from the UK government. --Previous Message-- : I think that is a diamond necklace that was : gifted to Queen Margrethe when on a state : visit to one of the Gulf States.
