Thank you, Josefine! That’s an interesting find, but in the end I don’t believe it to be the same brooch worn (rarely) by Queen Silvia and Queen Louise. On both Queens the center pearl in the brooch which is in the Bernadotte collection now appears to be larger, and the pendant pearl rounder, less drop-shaped than in the brooch of Lovisa. Also, Göran Alm says in his text about the Bernadotte jewels that no piece of the personal jewelry of Queen Lovisa is still in the collection today. Here are some pics for comparison:

Queen Louise:
