HM Queen Margrethe brooch

Posted by Hanken on June 30, 2026, 12:27 am

I found drawing of a brooch online It reminds me of a brooch with large rubins that was given to HM Queen Margrethe during some celebration - perhabs a birthday. But I am not able to find a photo of it. Does anyone recall having seen a brooch like this?

Could it be that you are thinking of the ruby suite that Prince Henrik gave his wife Queen Margrethe on the occasion of their Silver Wedding? I also thought that I had seen a brooch created for this set, but I have not been able to find a photo of it. So it could have been just my imagination actually. What I have found, however, is a photo of Queen Margrethe wearing the central part of the necklace as a brooch: Kongetro To visit my website Regal Events use this link: https://regalevents913271078.wordpress.com/

I found it! It was a gift from a Hofjægermester (Master of the Royal Hunt) to the Queen on her 70th birthday. According to the details accompanying the picture garnets have been used in the brooch. The photo is taken at the occasion of Queen Margrethe's visit to Aarhus in 2015 in connection with her 75th birthday. Previous Message Beautiful pic Kongetro! Alas not the one. The reffered brooch is indeed very similar to the image posted by Hanken. Kongetro To visit my website Regal Events use this link: https://regalevents913271078.wordpress.com/

Bingo! Thats the one! It matches the earrings perfectly also. Previous Message I found it! It was a gift from a Hofjægermester (Master of the Royal Hunt) to the Queen on her 70th birthday.

Yes, that is the brooch I had in mind. So, I dare say that the brooch was heavily inspired by the one on the drawing/print Does anyone have an idea what the print could be? Also, Kongetro says that the Queens version is garnets, not rubies. Makes sense due to the hue and somewhat dull glow of the stones Previous Message I definately remember the brooch you are refering to, and yes it does look very similar! I would have to dig in my archives... Does anyone recall having seen a brooch like this?
