On Kjell Arne Totland's website 'Kongebloggen', I have found these two HQ pictures. The first one gives us a better view of Queen Sonja's bracelet: On the second picture, we can see that Princess Astrid is wearing a small diamond bow brooch, which is NOT Queen Maud's bow brooch, that the Princess regularly wears. And Crown Princess Mette-Marit is wearing an interesting pair of girandole earrings (possibly made of emeralds, but I am not sure) and a small brooch with a central red stone (ruby?) surrounded by four diamonds. Has anyone seen these brooches and these earrings earlier? Thanks, Arthur --Previous Message-- : The President of India is currently making a : State visit to Norway - the first ever by an : Indian President. : : Yesterday, the traditional State banquet : took place at Oslo's Royal Palace. : : Nothing really new on the jewels' side : (Queen Sonja with the Leuchtenberg emeralds, : Crown Princess Mette-Marit with her usual : Daisy Tiara, Princess Astrid Mrs Ferner with : her Ruby Aigrette), but it is always a : pleasure to see Scandinavian pageantry! : : : : We can notice that Queen Sonja is wearing a : pearl bracelet with a rectangular emerald : and diamond clasp.
