Turquoise Royal jewellery

We've recently seen here turquoise jewellery of Princess Lilian of Sweden, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg, Queen Margrethe of Denmark and Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. Turquoise is a wonderful stone I think. Do we know of more turquoise jewellery in the royal and princely collections?

The duchess of Gloucester owns a very pretty turquoise and diamond set. I wonder why she doesn't wear it more often...

The wife of the Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha/Duke of Saxony has worn a lovely turquoise demi-parure, as seen here towards the bottom: http://orderofsplendor.blogspot.com/2012/02/wedding-wednesday-tiaras-at-victoria.html And at Ursula's wonderful site: http://www.royal-magazin.de/german/sachsen-coburg/sachsen-coburg-tuerkis-parure.htm In my opinion, it's one of the prettiest and most beautifully executed turquoise tiaras of all the royals. --Previous Message-- : We've recently seen here turquoise jewellery : of Princess Lilian of Sweden, Grand Duchess : Maria Teresa of Luxembourg, Queen Margrethe : of Denmark and Queen Beatrix of the : Netherlands.

I have this pic and must have got it from this board. The pic is labelled Jordanian Turquoise and with no other information. Turning to Field 1997 page 158 I read: "Despite the number of pieces of antique turquoise jewellery in the royal family the Queen owns only one modern set - a cluster-and-drop necklace and matching earrings of turquoises, with diamonds and sapphires, that she was given by the King of Jordan when he paid a State visit to England in 1966. The queen had never worn it in public until she paid a return visit to King Hussein and Queen Noor in 1984; she wore it then at the State banquet they gave in her honour."

Given that the earrings in the second set are faux, I have always felt that the necklace looked like one of Kenneth Jay Lane's pieces. --Previous Message-- : I'm not sure if I remember the details of : Princess Lillian's turqoise but they look so : lovely with her silver hair.

On taking a second look I agree that the two necklaces have differences in size between some stones. I did not record the provenance of the second photo.
