Thank you for the wonderful photos Arthur. Well spotted Mauriz. I initially thought that the blue beads in Queen Margrethe's necklace were cloisonne beads. I am convinced that Queen Anne-Marie's necklace, which she has been wearing for a number of years, is real, as surface spotting can be seen on the pearls. The size and colour suggest they are South Sea pearls. I am intrigued by Princess Benedikte's jewels. The gemstones in the brooch appear to be carved but I am uncertain what stones they are. Her earrings are perplexing. For a number of reasons, I very much doubt if the pink/red stones are spinels. For me, one of the best features in these photographs is to see the sisters all wearing what I call their Queen Ingrid bangles.
