Just a tip, but when I wear brooches I tend to wear them as part of either a twinset or on a suit--that way, I can run the pin part through two layers and make it hold up better. Of course, my brooches are not nearly as weighty as the Queens--rather than huge diamonds I have some pave set stones--but I do love brooches and it is all thanks to Her Majesty's influence.
