What a strange discussion. The Bernadotte emerald parure consists of parts of a former belt of a gala uniform which belonged to the first Bernadotte King; what used to be the belt buckle is now the large brooch of the parure. Following the same ‘dog-not-horse’ logic, the earrings of the Leuchtenberg sapphire parure are suddenly nothing but hairpins...
The emerald necklace by the way seems to have been shortened by Queen Silvia by a cluster or two around the mid-1990s, and looked perhaps even shorter on CP Victoria now:
1976
1998
2012
