Thank you Carlo for bringing this brooch to discussion here. I believe Queen Frederika is a favourite of yours? Frederika and her daughter Sofia are firm favourites of mine too.
This is a rarely seen one, of many pieces of jewelry Queen Sofia has and sadly chooses not wear since a long time ago.
The brooch seen on Queen Frederika is also my option for a possible match. From the pics its a bit hard to tell since they are not very clear. We would need better, bigger photos of both queens wearing this brooch.
Here some more pic of this brooch, on a visit to Tunez in 1983 and the welcoming ceremony of the visit to Spain from QEII in 1988. Still not the clearest of pics. Sources: Getty images and my archives.
In more recent years Queen Sofia seems to favour mostly modern, sometimes ethnical pieces. But she owns several pieces inherited/given from/by Queen Frederika she rarely has worn.
I am preparing a thread soon with some of those pieces of jewelry.
