Hi, Pia. I think we are talking about 2 different items, aren't we?
1) The necklace & earrings worn by the Queen to Prince Henrik's 80th birthday concert was given to her by her husband on the occasion of their 25th wedding anniversary.
2) The ruby cabochon brooch (the rubies are darker than the ones in the necklace & earrings) was given to her by The Masters of the Royal Hunt for her 70th birthday.
