Queen Margrethe of Denmark tells in the clip that I've linked below about two bracelets that used to belong to Empress Josephine and came to Denmark with her great-granddaughter Princess Louise of Sweden and Norway. They're composed out of different gemstones who, according to the fashion of the day, spelled out the names of her two children Hortense and Eugene. For instance emerauds/emeralds are used to spell out the letter E.
The Queen says that by now they're so fragile that she doesn't dare to use them but says that her mother, Queen Ingrid, often used them for especially grand occasions. Does anyone of you have any pictures of her wearing them?
