Yes horse shoe brooch with diamonds and small cabochon sapphires. It was a gift from Prince Bernhard for the birth of Princess Irene in 1939. I believe it is now owned by Princess Irene. The symbolism here was that it would bring luck and peace as Europe was on the brink of WWII. --Previous Message-- : What is known about this brooch ? : Juliana wore it with her sapphire drop : earrings, so I guess that the brooch is also : set with sapphires : : : :
