Are these the only sapphires in HM's jewel collection? --Previous Message-- : Thank you! I never realized it had so many : possibilities, I just love versatile pieces. : I must say I also prefer the : "younger" version, it looked more : balanced and imposing. : Those saphires are magnificent, and the oval : pendant piece is just wonderful, itīs an : incredible set. : : I have pictures of Queen Alexandrine wearing : the stones as a large sautoir, as it was : fashionable in those days (the diamond : pieces of the sautoir are now necklaces and : bracelets of Prss Benedikte and Queen Anne : Marie). I believe these stones came from her : mother? Were they a gift to GD Anastasia? : Are there any pictures or her wearing these : saphires? : Thank you : : : : : --Previous Message-- : it is interesting how versatile this set : is...you can remove the diamonds in between : sapphires, which Queen Margrethe has been : doing quite often...you can re-arrange the : sapphires...for instance, the central : element is larger in one picture than the : other (see below pictures). : : there were also 2 sapphires converted into : hair pins...I just don't know if that was a : permanent change, which we saw ( Marianne if : you can kindly repost the picture from : Princess Nathali'e wedding) at the Berleburg : wedding. : : The necklace has been shortened and in my : opinion it looks much better as Queen : Margrethe wore it when she was : younger...lower and more grand looking. : : : : : : : : : : :
