I seem to have covered unusual-jewellery only yesterday

collection – her Golden Poppies.

| Queen Margrethe's Golden Poppies |
The Queen commissioned it from Danish jewellery designer
Arje Griegst in 1976. Although sometimes it is suggested Queen Margrethe had a
hand in designing it, that is almost certainly not the case. Griegst was
already famous for a series of unconventional jewellery which broke the
tradition of the more rigorous Danish jewels of the time.
