Last week, the President and First Lady of Ukraine made several stops in Europe, including visits to Scandinavian monarchs.
On August 19, President Volodymyr Zelensky and First Lady Olena Zelenska were received by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden at Stenhammar Palace.
Queen Silvia wore gold jewelry for the audience, including a gold and pearl brooch in the shape of a bee. Ms. Zelenska also wore a gold brooch—if I’m right, it’s in the shape of an ear of wheat, one of Ukraine’s most important agricultural crops.

These floral earrings were made by A. Michelsen for Margrethe’s mother, Queen Ingrid. The silver and lapis lazuli earrings were passed down from Ingrid to Margrethe, who treasures them and has worn them often.

On her collar, Queen Margrethe pinned a rectangular brooch. The sapphire and gold brooch was given to Margrethe in 1973 by President Urho Kekkonen of Finland.
