Worst Royal Jewels 2

that is true, Thomas, the flower basket brooch does have yellow diamonds. I think it is a lovely piece--and as you said it is centuries old design--if it ain't broke......

I have to agree. It is lovely. The photo of it on the younger Margrethe shows just how lovely it is. I have to admit I didn't care for the way the tiara looked on Margrethe with her hair slicked back into a chignon but that's a matter of personal perspective. As mentioned previously, it does remind one of Mary's (or should I sat Fred's ) lovely ruby parure.

Wondering where the tutti frutti posts have gone?
They are now in their own thread... Tutti Frutti

Why does this style of jewellery always bring to mind Carmen Miranda?

Could it possibly be that wearing a piece of "Tutti Frutti" jewelry makes the same kind of statement as wearing a bowl of fruit on ones head?

Well, I have a new addition that, in my opinion, is uglier than the Brazillian Aquamarines. I know, this is hard to believe--but at least the aquamarine's look ok sometimes. I cannot stand that ugly ruby swag necklace set in yellow gold that QEII wears. I really dislike it--it looks cheap and dated--like something a teenage beauty queen contestant would wear in the evening gown competetion. Why would she still wear this thing? She has at least two other GORGEOUS ruby necklaces at her disposal. It also fits to close to her neck--I just dislike this piece---
