Yes, I'm pretty sure it is an arabic gift, althought I do not remember where from. I had forgotten about this one...of the Queen's emerald sets this is definatelly the least appealing to me. I try to make mostly positive commemts but I have to call this one an ugly set, sorry... the necklace looks like a zipper, very unatractive.
Queen Silvia other modern emerald sets are lovely and elegant, so HM still has plenty to choose from
--Previous Message-- : Does anyone have any info on Queen Silvia's : emeralds seen on the photo. To me it looks : like a piece of arabic jewellery maybe : presented to the Queen on an official visit? :
