Thank you, Carlo, for your sharp eyes. The pictures I have posted are from 1966 and 1968. So it would be possible that Queen Frederika bought the earrings from Queen Elena between 1964 and 1966 (NB: I do not say it is the case, as I have no particular information, just that it would be possible). For Constantine II and Anne-Marie's wedding in 1964, Queen Frederika wore a pair of sapphire earrings, but they look to me slightly different from the ones worn in Madrid in 1966 and 1968. The differences pointed out by Carlo between Elena's and Frederika's earrings seem more convincing. Has anyone a larger picture of Queen Elena with these earrings? --Previous Message-- : IMO the earrings worn by Queen Federica cannot : be the same as the ones belonging to Queen : Elena because the latter wore hers at King : Constantine II's wedding ceremony. : : Furthermore, the two pairs of earrings look : quite different: Elena's pair seem to have : only a bottom cluster of sapphire and : diamonds, while Federica's earrings are more : elaborate with a top little cluster with a : sapphire encircled with diamonds and : separeted by the bottom part with a motif of : 3 diamonds. : : Queen Federica wore hers at pre-wedding ball : with the huge sapphire as seen in the : photos. : : See HM Queen Elena in the background in both : photos wearing what they look like her : earrings in question: : : : : : : : : : :
