It's very hard to see the colour of the stones in the photos posted on Ademar's page about Princess Beatrix's wedding but I would say they're emeralds - the centre piece, small pendant and larger brooch. http://www.angelfire.com/realm/beatrix1966/guests.html --Previous Message-- : The center stone on Queen Frederika's necklace : does seem like a rubi to me, and you are : right she wore it with her huge rubi brooch : at the baptism, wich would make sense. : Looking at the bigger picture of Q Frederika : it does not seem to be an emerald. : : I know nothing on the provenance of the : necklace nor its presents whereabouts, in : fact these are the only 2 pics I've seen of : it (both in mid 1960s). It was a beautiful : piece. : : It was told that at some point in exile : Queen Frederika sold some of her jewels, one : hypothesis is that maybe this piece was one : of those sold. Again just an hypothesis... : We all thought for a long time that her : fabulous diamond tiara had been sold and we : were pleasently surprised when seeing Pss : Marie Chantal wearing it after so many : years. : : Your sugestion could make sense, the size of : the necklace could fit in 2 bracelets, but : without clear photos its really hard to tell : from the old pictures. : Again, a pity if it was sold at some : point... : : : : --Previous Message-- : Christina - thank you for the side by side - : I : think we have a match. : : Do you know that the stone in Queen : Frederika's necklace was a ruby? I know she : wore it together with a ruby brooch for the : baptism... : : Would love to know the history of the : necklace and what happened to it??? Sold??? : : Or - I know this is a long shot since the : old photos as blurry - but could it have : ended up as a bracelet? or is it in fact 2 : bracelets put together? : : : : : : : : :
