I, myself, find this new turquoise necklace, quite beautiful. The yellow gold goes well with the blueish stone.......... I am a little bewildered, about the negative comments. Of course, everybody has a meaning and everybody has a right to express it..... The queen has a rather artistic and playfull approach to her jewels. Not so conservative. And things just might have happened, as Arthur mentioned in his post above. The queen knows ( and I´m pretty sure, gives it a lot of thought ) how to dress for any occation. Of course she does. And the queen is a clever woman. I take it, the queen dresses exactly what she find right (and wants ) and knows, she cant please everybody. If she did, she would loose to begin with. The queen loves to throw a good party and loves to dress up for it.......... I myself enjoy how she plays with the jewels she has and I am allways looking forward to find out, what she will do next. Love these surprises..................
