In amongst the 2 new brooches, the Wiliamson Pink diamond brooch also got an outing yesterday.

HM looks so lovely in the pink outfit and hat! What wonderful pictures of such an important time in our history to honor all the men who died for freedom and peace. May they long be remembered for the greatest gift to us, their lives!

Fabulous jewels especially my fave Williamson Pink

 

[roseroyal]

I love the Williamson pink too- except on that outfit it sort of blended in!
I loved her pink outfit.
Just had a look at the Turkish waterfall- stunning!
Stunning photo too- Love her outfit!

I don't think I've ever seen that Turkish waterfall brooch; it's just phenomenal! HM is like an assembly line with all these magnificent brooches on display, one after the other.

It was only the second time that HM wore the Turkish waterfall brooch. The first time was at the Turkish state banquet in London a few years ago.

 

[GillW]

The Turkish waterfall/fringe brooch was one of Queen Victoria's brooches and has since passed through the gem collections of all the Queens since then. It is a really stunning piece, and I love it. I wish we could see HM wear it more often.

This morning HM is wearing the Irish Blossom on a beige jacket, for the opening of the flower marked in Paris, named in her honour.

[Baroness of Books]

Thanks for the thumbnail, Warren. The brooch is huge; those diamonds, especially the central one, are jaw-dropping.

 

[PetticoatLane]

It seems so much bigger to me than it did previously. On HM's lovely green coat it is really a very substantial piece.

 

[SElizabeth]

That just takes my breath away.......it is beyond beautiful! I have never seen diamonds this huge done this way. Unbelievably breath taking!

Excellent copies of this brooch are available from the Royal Collection shop. They are just as large & impressive and really make a statement - I get loads of comments & compliments when I wear mine - people love it

Last week should go down in history as a Brooch-a-pa-loo-za for HM. My head is still spinning!

I think the message from HM / BP was loud and clear: she is still very much in the game, and knows how to dazzle the French!

Could not help feeling sorry for the Replublique, knowing that we had HM and the DoE, and their Head of State was Hollande!

 

[MARG]

Don't see the problem. President Hollande treated HM and Prince Philip with great courtesy and seemed to enjoy their company. Any gaffes he may or may not have made were probably a result of being blinded by the glare of their smiles and her gorgeous, fantastic, stupendous, magnificent (well you get the picture) brooches!

Let's face it, we are biased because we have the biggest guns of all . . . that dynamic duo HM Queen Elizabeth II and her Consort Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh. There isn't a royal state or a republic that could beat that because they are the quintessential royals, they put the "Royal" in Highnesses and the Majesty in royal.

The mysteries just keep coming....

 

[rubies]

I dream of seeing all of HM brooches set out on velvet to veiw. They are almost as stunning as the Queen herself!!
