Thank you Boris. It seems to me that the fabulous swedish collection lacks a nice pair of earrings in classical style to be worn with CP Margaretha's rubi tiara/necklace or with the rubi brooch/pendant. The Queen has the Brunei rubi set but its style is unwearable with this older pieces... I think HM favours emeralds above all other gems, as she has several more modern sets. Perhaps rubis are not to the Queens taste, altough I think she looks lovely wearing them.
