Thanks Cristina! You are right Queen Frederica, Queen Sofia and the Greek RF in general are among my all time favourites.
I also like Queen Anna Maria, she is perfect, I like the way she talks, she always says the right thing when answering to interviews......she has a vast collection of jewels, which include not only precious but also semi precious stones such as turquoises.

: 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.

: 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.

: During the State visit to Italy, in the
: early
: eighties, Queen Sofia wore a square brooch
: with a round or oval turquoise in the
: centre. Browsing through some older photos
: of the late Queen Frederica of Greece with
: her grand-children, I spotted the same
: brooch.
: I apolgize for not showing a close-up, but I
: could not find other photos that I had seen
: in the past, where you have a better view of
: the brooch (I am sure that some of you will
: have better photos to share).
: It must be among the very few pieces of
: jewelry having belonged to her mother,
: inherited by Queen Sofia.
