The Queen is often very sentimental about her jewellery. This is the first state visit abroad that she has done alone without Prince Henrik since his dementia diagnosis and so I think it is no coincidence that she has chosen the turquoise jewellery which have all been gifts to her over the years from her husband. It's like she's taken a bit of him with her
They earrings and the brooch were given at her 60th and 70th birthdays (can't remember which way round it was) and the necklace he gave her on her 75th birthday.
She has recently also worn a few times a pearl necklac with small rubies (or other red stones) between which was a gift from Prince Henrik at their Silver Wedding.
