--Previous Message-- : Which brooch? : : : : --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : The origins or the whereabouts of this : impressive necklace are unfortunately : unknown (at least to me). : : It is is indeed a very versatile piece of : jewellery. : : The large lozenge-shaped motif at the front : of the necklace is detachable, and can be : worn as brooch: : : : : Another unidentified oblong-shaped diamond : motif is suspended, on the picture below, : from the large central lozenge-shaped motif : of the necklace. Three pear-shaped diamond : drops are suspended from the oblong motif, I : guess they are the Lahore diamond (now the : pendant of Queen Victoria's Coronation : riviere, frequently worn by Queen Elizabeth : II) and Queen Victoria's Coronation : earrings: : : : : The two large ornate motifs hanging on both : sides were bequeathed to Queen Maud of : Norway (daughter of Queen Alexandra), and : are now worn as earrings by Queen Sonja. I : do not know, though, if these earrings are : the same as Queen Victoria's Turkish : earrings: : : : : On the following picture, the large : lozenge-shaped motif is worn as a brooch : (pinned on Queen Alexandra's sash), whereas : the oblong-shaped diamond motif and the : "Norwegian" earrings are suspended : from Queen Alexandra's wedding-gift pearl : necklace. And I suspect the pearl drops : hanging from the oblong-shaped motif to be : the two large pear-shaped drops from Queen : Alexandra's Dagmar Necklace and one of the : drops of her pearl and diamond wedding : brooch! Quite easy to get lost, isn't it? : : : : : : : : : :
