Yes the brooch is made by Torben Hardenberg in 2000 for the queen. It is with the hunting goodess Diana holding a deer around the neck (The deer is to symbolice the kings of earth most prestigius animal for shooting)And its is actualy a kopi of a relief at the royal hunting castle eremitagen in klampenborg north of Copenhagen (Near Dagmar and Alexandras Hvidøre) The turquoises are to form a shape of a heart, and the 3 stones are frome within the family. I personly meet Torben and ask him about this favorite brosh of the queen. And he told me this. It is made of 18 and 24 carat of gold, oxyd sterling silver, brilliants and emeralds. I have Torben Hardenbergs book, where you can see Some closo up of the broch. (It does not mention any matching earrings). And also some more jewellery and objects de art that he has maid for her Majesty and the prince in consort. I also heard that the prince in consorts personal gift to his wife at her 40 years aniversary, is from Torben Hardenberg. But we are yet to se if it is true... Wauw, this week will be so ROYAL here in DK. Best regards Kalle
