    : 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

    : 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):

    : 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.

    : 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:
