QUEEN NOOR

 

[maryshawn]

I need some help. Right after her wedding, Queen Noor wore one of the prettiest, albeit simple, wedding band sets I've ever seen. There were three rings--a plain gold band, a gold band set with what looks to be gold diamonds pave style and a gold band with white diamonds pave style. Does anyone have any good close up photos of this ring as I would love to duplicate it or come close.

She also wears, very often it seems, a dove of peace brooch that is stunning. It seems to be made of diamonds with a small heart dangling from its beak. Does anyone know where this came from or how one would go about finding it or a similar piece?

I am not into jewelry but in both of these cases I think they are so lovely, it would be wonderful to own similar rings and the dove of peace brooch.

Any advice would be welcome.

Does anyone have any information on the following as I would like to find these pieces or close imitations. Queen Noor is often photographed in Jordan wearing white cloissone or enamel flower earrings with a diamond center. She also wears quite often now a brooch, gold with diamonds, which is a dove of peace with a unique dainty heart linking the dove to its beak. These are just stunning pieces and yet I can't find any mention of them anywhere in terms of where she found them. If anyone has information, I'd appreciate it greatly. I get the feeling the earrings are of Middle Eastern origin; perhaps someone from that region knows the jeweller. I have no idea about the brooch. Does anyone else notice she often wears a signet ring--well, actually a couple; one is plain gold, others have large gemstones. I could never pull off that look but it's very lovely on her and perhaps significant as they may have been a gift from her husband, King Hussein, or maybe they were his. Anyway, she does have lovely pieces--very unique--and I hope to find the earrings and brooch one of these days with your help.

Thank you,

Mary Shawn

In the photos of Noor (wonderful by the way), she is usually wearing a signet ring on her pinky and a blue evil eye bracelet. Were they gifts from KH? It seems she never takes them off so they must mean something. Also, she does not always wear her wedding band. Is this a custom in that in Islam wedding bands are something adopted from the Western way of wedding? Or is she just feeling the bands are no longer important to wear as a widow? Just curious about the history of the two pieces and lack of wedding band.

 

[maryshawn]

I have found one she wore but the one I am really trying to find is this one.

Go to www.celebrity-photos.com/queennoor.jpg

It's a larger pin with a dove holding a small heart.

If anyone knows anything about where/how to get this, I''d greatly appreciate your help.

Sincerely,

Mary Shawn

She's quite fond of pearls.

From 1999

She's wearing a pretty "Allah" pendant in the first three pics, I've seen her wear it several times, once on Larry King. Its made up of diamonds i think.

 

[maryshawn]

I agree; liked them so much, I tracked down a version made by Ross-Simons. They are in their catalogue.

Ahh......the evil eye bracelets she's so fond of. Great pic. Thanks.

Unusual watch in one of the photos. I wonder what kind it is.....

What Watches, Besides These, Does Noor Favor?

I've read she wears a cartier santos and I've seen her wearing a black Piaget polo. But she seems to have a number of interesting watches. Any photos or info on this topic?


Thanks,

On one occasion in an interview with Larry King, she wore a simple round diamond on a simple chain with a pearl necklace which sat just beneath it. I wish I had a photo but it was simple yet elegant.

Was it the interview to discuss her book? I might have that photo somewhere...

 

[maryshawn]

I believe so......or the interview just a few months after her husband's death. I believe she was wearing a winter white suit. If you have it, that would be great!

I think it was the interview just after King Hussein's death; she wore a black velvet top for the book interview, I believe. I will have a look around for the photo in the winter white suit and when I find it I will post it!

Queen Noor has some beautiful tiaras. Unfortunately we dont see her wearing them too often.

She has worn this sunburst tiara most often

 

[Humera]

my favourite, the scroll tiara
and the fringe tiara

 

[Reina]

I really like her tiaras. I wish she had the opportunity to wear them again. But it seems that the same pics are shown.

 

[Humera]

I doubt we'll see her wear them again. She's not likely to have state visits abroad. And she doesnt wear them at royal weddings. I read somewhere that she tries to wear tiaras as little as possible.
I think her daughters and daughter-in-law will be the next to wear them.

Queen Noor in LA earlier this month

 

[Humera]

It's hard to see but during King Hussein's funeral, Queen Noor wore this pendant. It's beautiful; likely an Allah pendant. If anyone knows about it, please post.

Yes you're right. I posted two pics for the pendant on the last page.
But here they are again, plus several more pics.
She also wore the pendant to one of her Larry King interviews a couple of years ago

 

[maryshawn]

Yes, I saw it on Larry King when the words "Queen Noor of Jordan" weren't blocking it! It has to be the same. It's lovely. I had a feeling you would recognize it and I did see your posts on others......they're great!

I saw that interview and she said that her brother in Montana gave her it. But that was a long time ago. I hope I am getting my facts straight. But that allah necklace looks like an upside down cross. I guess that is quite figurative of how different Christianity and islam are.
