The christening brooch has a huge oval sapphire surrounded by diamonds and also has pearls and was worn by Queen Ingrid, QMII and now Princess Mary.
The ruby brooch made up of rubies and diamonds is part of the ruby parure inherited by Crown Prince Frederik from his grandmother Queen Ingrid. Queen Ingrid received it when she became Crown Princess of Denmark from Queen Alexandrine.
These two brooches have a long Danish history and are different in design from one another.
Here's a good view of the sapphire brooch:
