    : Greenland have given the Queen a diadem on
    : the occasion of her 40th royal jubilee.
    : Although gold is Greenlandic.

    : The Queen was a jewelry richer today:
    : Greenland Home Rule Government has gifted
    : monarch with a tiara on the occasion of her
    : 40th anniversary as ruler. The gift was
    : presented at a ceremony at Amalienborg pm.
    : 12 of the President of the Greenland
    : Parliament, Josef Motzfeldt.
    :
    :
    : It was actually Premier Kleist, who should
    : have been responsible for the ceremony. But
    : he is concerned about a European
    : Commissioner visits.
    :
    : - Kleist regrets that he can not be present.
    : He has been there from the beginning and

    : Melted coins and rubies
    :
    : Queen's new tiara weighs about a quarter
    : pounds and consists of melted gold coins and
    : diamonds and rubies, all of Greenlandic
    : origin. Nicolai Appel is the jeweler and the

    : - Plain gold may seem a bit like chipboard.
    : You do not know what the plate is made up

    : history, says Nicolai Appel to b.dk.
    :
    : - It comes from the mine in Kirkespirdalen
    : in South Greenland. Man struck coins of it
    : in connection with the International Polar
    : Year, which went from 1 March 2007 for the
    : first March 2009. The subject was a small

    : Can be divided into five brooches
    :
    : - Some of the coins have been stored in the
    : vaults. I had such a nice dialogue with the
    : National Bank. They thought it was a good
    : idea to use some of them to the Queen's
    : necklace. When you now have gold from
    : Greenland mines, why not use it?, Says
    : Nicolai Appel.
    :
    : The piece can also be divided into five
    : brooches. The motifs are imprints of
    : Greenland flowers and other plants. It all
    : comes in a box, designed by Ina Rosing in
    : collaboration with cabinetmaker Rasmus
    : Fenhann. The gift is sponsored by the
    : Greenland Government and the Home and five
    : companies connected to the Greenlandic
    : economy.
