    Completely new information to me also.
    There were speculations that Queen Frederika had sold some of her jewels in exile, the diamond tiara that recently reapear on Pss Marie Chantal's head was said to be one of the items sold and now we know for sure that such information was false.
    As to the diamond and pearl necklace/tiara/brooch has not been seen since around the same time as the diamond tiara was seen last before Pss Marie Chantal wore it, mid 1960's I would say. But I have no further accurate information on its whereabouts since them.
    I am crossing my fingers for it to still be in the family vaults along with the diamond tiara, and like the later we can see it worn again sometime soon .

    : Thank you Monica, lovely picture of Queen
    : Frederika, I've never seen it before.
    :
    : She is wearing the fabulous (and thank
    : heavens still in the family) diamond tiara
    : that was a wedding gift to Queen Sophia. A
    : truly stunning and regal piece.
    : The Queen is also wearing her diamond bow
    : brooch, I'm not sure if it has some small
    : pendant hanging. The earrings are of
    : diamonds and rubis, I'm not sure of their
    : present wereabouts, but Queen Sofia and
    : Princess Letizia have worn similar ones but
    : Don't know if exactly the same.
    :
    : The nacklace can be worn as a tiara
    : (Princess Irene wore it like that several
    : times), and the center motif can be removed
    : and worn as a brooch. Also this necklace has
    : not been seen since the 1960's, so I'm
    : keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that
    : it would be in some vault all this time and
    : would reapear soon like the impressive
    : diamond tiara . Really hope still is in the
    : family.
