Anne of Orange’s earrings are part of the jewellery in The Danish Royal Property Trust.
These earrings from the 1700s have one large diamond and, beneath, a pendant, a ‘pendeloque’, with a pear-shaped diamond. Like the ‘Rivière’ necklace, they belonged to Princess Anne of Orange, born in 1709 as a princess of England, but married to William of Orange.
Like the ‘Rivière’, the earrings were inherited by Queen Lovisa as part of ‘The Dutch Collection’ after her Dutch-Prussian born mother, Queen Lovise of Sweden-Norway.
The earrings can also be used as pendants in a necklace.
