No blue this time Gill. HM has gone green, and thrown in a whopping emerald for good measure.

On the 23rd October, at Gloucester, The Queen has worn the large rose brooch from the dismantled Nizam's tiara.

What a pitty that we don't have pics of The Queen in Old Windsor, and so unable to see what brooch she wore. Again blue I saw, the outfit for the 2009 Trooping the Colour.

HM has a lovely brooch on today, whilst welccoming the Indian President. Any clues as to its provenance?

I've only seen this worn two other times, firstly in N Ireland on 7th May 2009, and then a little later at Ascot on 17th June. I have not seen any information come to light yet, and therefore until we know more about it I call it the Irish Blossom, as it reminds me of a spray of delicate apple blossom. I haven't yet seen a photo clear enough to see if it is diamonds, pearls, or simply white metal, but at this point I'd bet on diamonds...

Now that I've taken a look at some of the photos they seem a bit clearer than those we may have seen before - it's also one of those unusual days where HM has a different brooch on her dress from on her coat - the indoor photos show her wearing the shell brooch of the late Q Mother.

The blossom brooch is absolutely gorgeous! I love its delicate design! And it matches this pale blue outfit so well! Excellent choice,imo.

That is one gorgeous brooch, the first time I have ever seen it. The design is so beautiful.

[MelinaB.]

I like both brooches: the one she wore in the afternoon and the County of Surrey brooch. Apart from being so beautiful, they both look so regal!

Don't like the tiara, hate the necklace-LOVE LOVE LOVE this brooch. It's gorgeous. And, I always love seeing the RFOs.

I haven't seen this brooch in a long time. It is sooo impressive. The brooch of blossoms with the yellow diamonds was also beautiful. I'm not sure why she would wear a pearl brooch set in platinum with a ruby suite in gold, but when your jewels look like this,,,,,does it really matter!!!

I think one of the last times this Surrey brooch was seen, was back in Slovakia on a black outfit with white trim on 24 Oct 08. That day The Queen wore the brooch as 'daydress' instead of now 'eveningdress'.

I love the brooch of blossoms with the yellow diamonds. So delicate, just beautiful and adorable IMO. I didn't like the tiara that much...

[muriel]

I think the Surrey brooch was a wonderful addition to the ensemble last night. The Irish blossom looked lovely as well.

And the brooch from the Indian Gala Banquet?
