Cartier Clips

Here is a much better pic of HM wearing the Cartier Clips brooch in Malta yesterday.
These aquamarine and diamond clips were given to the Queen in 1944 by her parents as an eighteenth-birthday present, and are a typically 1940s design, combining baguette, oval and round stones.

Default Indian Brooch
Is HM wearing a 'new' (or not seen for a while) brooch?
It looks Indian in design. Something from the vaults, or from her mother?

I think it is a pitty The Queen rarely wears a brooch to complete her full parures. She usually wears family orders pinned on the garter sash attached with Queen Victoria's diamond bar brooch. Other brooches are seen when she wears a sash on her right side : usually a bow brooch (Queen Mary's Dorset bow or lover's knot). Queen Mary's complete diamons stomacher was first seen for a Jubilee dinner with other european monarchs (The smallest part of the brooch had been worn once for an official portrait of the Queen in the 50's).
Queen Silvia wears brooches all the time, Margrethe end Beatrix too. Why not Lilibet ?

Default New broaches
The Queen has been wearing a lot of new broaches in the last year. She had a couple new ones when she visited Canada last year.

And I noticed this one on her trip to Singapore.

www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=233347&d=1142675741

I've never seen it before. She also wore a new one to Australia that looked to be amethyst, but no picture provided a closeup of the broach.

The Brooch with a rose is a present from Canada and the so called diamonds mentioned above are in fact Rock Crystal. There is no evidence to suggest it has anything to do with the Queen Mother.

Wow! This is very cute, the diamonds look like grapes and the blue sapphire bow is beautiful! Good job QM.

Post 87 is the New Zealand Fern Brooch given to QEII in 1953. It is made of Diamonds.

Post 107. This is not the New Zealand Fern Brooch. It appears to be a gold feather brooch, worn for about the last 3 to 4 years to Braemar Games. I think it is another new one, not yet identified, and no one knows any of its history.

The Cullinan V diamond by itself is 18.80 carats.

I love Mary Adelaid Duchess of Tecks pearl corsage brooch and wish the Queen would wear it more often. She wears it against an icy blue silk suit in the Cecil Beaton portraits she had taken with Andrew and Edward when he was a baby and it looks sooooo beautiful. Sigh:) . Think she'd ever lend it to me?!
