Was it a gift from her lifetime : to her daughter, Queen Maud or passed on : Queen Maud at her mother's death, I don't : know. : : Here, a picture of Queen Alexandra wearing : it. She wore it as a brooch, with the pearl : drop, on her shoudler. : : : : Then, some other photos of Queen Sonja : wearing it both ways (as a brooch and as a : pendant to her necklace). : : : : : : The brooch seemed to be made of a big : central diamond suronded by two rows of : smaller diamonds. A pearl drop can be : attached to it. : : It's such a lovely brooch ! Curious that we : have never seen pictures of Queen Maud nor : Princess Martha wearing it ! Even Queen : Sonja rarely wears it. : : I wonder if the brooch could have been : amount the other jewelry stolen with Queen : Maud's tiara in 1995... I remember at the : time that it was said that the tiara was not : the only piece of jewelry having been : stolen.... : : But it's probably not the case if you have : pictures of the Queen wearing it after : 1995.... : : J-F : :
