Dear Kalle, I want to thank you personally for sharing this information with us...greatly appreciated. your post does raise one question for me, the 3 large turquoise (as you said is from the family) that we see in this brooch, I wonder if they are from CP Margaret (Queen Margrethe's maternal grandmother) collection..after all Queen Ingrid brought lots of turquoise from Sweden when she became Crown Princess of Denmark --Previous Message-- : : 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.
