The drawing is quite delightful. Thank you Christian. --Previous Message-- : As an esthetician I find the necklace ugly, as : a jewelry lover I find the pearls amazing : and as a Dane I find the piece historically : important. I think this is one of the most : expensive and rich royal jewels ever created : in Denmark, and it shows the wealth of the : Oldenburg dynasty, of which the necklace's : giver Frederik VII was the last king. The : copy of the Dagmar Cross is also interesting : since it is a tradition in Denmark that you : present a gold Dagmar Cross to small girls : at their baptisms. : : I don't know if Queen Mary or Queen : Elizabeth ever wore the piece, but I can : provide this sweet drawing from Her Majesty : The Queen of Denmark's Library. It shows the : moment when Frederik VII present the : necklace to Princess Alexandra before her : wedding. : : : : --Previous Message-- : I'm trying to pin down more information on : this amazing piece of jewelry. We all know : that the necklace entered into the Windsor : vaults through Queen Alexandra upon her : marriage to Edward VII. What I'm trying to : find out is whether or not we have any : photographic or written confirmation that : either Queen Mary or the Queen Mother wore : the necklace. I'm always humbled and : impressed by the knowledge here on the : board, so I'm hoping someone will have some : information. Thank you all in advance for : your help. : : : : : :
