Queen Maud. Wedding gift from Viscount Curzon Posted by Beth on August 29, 2019, 7:51 pm I found this sketch today. Here are a couple of descriptions. Does anyone recognise this jewel?

Wedding gift from Viscount Curzon" The shape of the sketch looks like a brooch worn by CP Martha, but the photo is too blurry to see any details. A nice photo of CP Martha of Norway with her brother in law Prince Axel of Denmark: Previous Message I found this sketch today. Here are a couple of descriptions. Does anyone recognise this jewel?

Your knowledge of the Norwegian jewels is outstanding (as is your collection of photos). The shape matches so well that I think you are on the right track. I very much doubt if there would be two brooches so similar in shape in the Norwegian collection, as the Curzon brooch is distinctive. It would be great if there was a photo with higher definition so that the details could be appreciated. If only there were more sketches of Queen Maud's wedding gifts available. I suspect that then more jewels could be traced to the Queen.
