But couldn’t it also be a question of the quality of diamonds?
Fx I think I have read somewhere that some of the old diamonds in the Crown jewels of Denmark are of lesser quality which can be been by a brownish hue.
Yes like for example the antique ruby and diamond tiara/necklace that Crown Princess Mary of Denmark bought some years ago. Those diamonds look positively dirty in photos, but probably look warm and sparkly by candlelight.
Common for jewellery set with old diamonds. They tend to be less uniform in colour and cut. The bright white sparkles we see these days have a cold but radiant sprakle to them. Old diamonds tend to have a warmer hue (colour range) and are less flashy.
Has anyone noted the brown or yellow hue that some of the diamonds have? I was just thinking if this is due to the photo quality or if they are in fact coloured?
Has anyone else noted the same?
The wonderful @Jakreg76 has spotted Crown Princess Victoria’s mystery Brooch from tonight’s King’s Dinner for the 2023 Nobel Laureates at the Royal Palace of Stockholm being worn by her grandmother, Princess Sibylla , with the Cameo Parure at the Wedding Gala of Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Princess Ingrid of Sweden in 1935 .
