    Queen Margrethe wear the emeralds parure with gowns in all diiferent green colours but i can't remeber she has worn it ever with a gown in another colour like Queen Sonja does it frequently with her emerald Parure.

    : Thanks Marianne for letting us know that
    : Members on RJWMB and GREMB were mentioned in
    : this new lovely book about Queen's
    : Margrethe's Portraits...absolutely
    : fantastic...Congrats to all the fellow
    : posters
    :
    : In addition I really liked this new unveiled
    : portrait of 3 generations (I call it)...I
    : think of it as Past, present and future
    : rulers because to me QMII represents past in
    : addition to present with Frederik
    :
    : The details in this painting are done
    : absolutely stunning...mostly of course I
    : paid attention to the Jewels...and I have to
    : admit that the painted emerald tiara looks
    : better (IMHO) than the actual one worn by
    : the Queen I always was amazed by the
    : necklace (stone size and design) and
    : chandelier earrings and corsage..but tiara
    : always looked like unbalanced...not
    : literally but more in the design...I believe
    : that the central emerald should have been
    : placed little higher...or larger stone
    : should have been used to have more balance
    : between tiara and a necklace...that way
    : visually it would have looked more complete,
    : if that makes sense.

    : The only thing that I can't remember is
    : Queen Margrethe wearing emerald parure with
    : this pink dress...I just went through all
    : the photos that I have of her in this dress
    : and either she wore Pearl parure or Crown
    : diamonds but never emeralds..I wonder if the
    : Queen was painted first, and the jewels
    : added later by her request? because I surely
    : don't remember this combination.
