The stones are superb, no : doubt about that, but I think I understand : why they were worn only twice. That design : really has something unapealling to me, I'm : sorry to say. And the metal : "string" behind the earrings makes : them look a bit like safety pins... [snip] There's really no accounting for taste! I find these earrings quite wonderful: the design refreshingly clear and straight, very well-proportioned, and I particularly like the hook and its curve - very modern in its approach of making a technical aspect part of the design. (The pearl pendants on the other hand distract the line and proportions IMHO.) While I can see why Queen Silvia with her somewhat theatrical style in jewellery hasn't worn them more often, I'm surprised Crown Princess Victoria doesn't wear them regularly: the combination with the fringe tiara is very successful I think, and they have the perfect length and shape for her face.
