Originally, the Marguerite was made in blue, yellow, red, white and green. When the brooch was designed in 1940, the white model quickly became the most popular. It is the only color out of the five that is still produced today. After World War II, the brooch became a symbol of the wish for better times.

The daisy has great symbolic value for the Danish and Swedish royal family, due to Queen Margrethe's grandmother, Crown Princess Margaretha of Sweden. The Crown Princess was also called Daisy and at Queen Ingrid's wedding in 1935 to King Frederik the 9th, she was given a jeweled daisy in memory of her mother. Queen Margrethe wore it as the obligatory borrowed item at her wedding in 1967.
