Thank you Claes too for this information and Boris for the additional information... If you recall, I did this collage the time when we first saw this brooch for a 2nd time...and I always believed that both of them didn't belong together...the pearls are different colors..it surely looks more complete on black and white photo --Previous Message-- : Thank you very much, Claes! : I'm glad that you joined the conservation. : If I remember correctly you once posted this : info before but I wasn't quite sure as I : didn't put notes down. : One more photo (the round upper pearl is : really of remarkable size): : : : : --Previous Message-- : The brooch seen wearing by Queen Louise : (1889-1965) and Queen Silvia, has belonged : to Grand Duchess Luise of Baden (1838-1923), : the mother of Queen Victoria of Sweden. : : --Previous Message-- : 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: : : Lovisa: : : : Queen Louise: : : : Queen Silvia: : : : : : --Previous Message-- : : : can this be the same brosch silvia wears? : : : : : : :
