The Queen wore the Celtic emerald knot brooch today for an engagement at Salisbury cathedral.

Is the stone blue ? A saphire ?

It's an emerald and I believe a gift from one of the Romanov Tsars. The late Queen wore it occasionally.

It is beautiful. So glad she is wearing brooches

And almost a century old now,the duchess of York (later Queen Elizabeth the QM) received all five bracelets in 1925.

Great to see this bracelet in use. Hope the Queen uses these Cartier bracelets regularly.

Lovely to see the bracelets being worn. They are very versatile and particularly lovely when worn in combination. Hope both the Queen and the Princess of Wales will do them justice in the near future.

 

[Saragli]

The Cartier bracelets are great, I'm glad to see them again. They can be dressed up or down. I know its unlikely but it would be nice to see the PoW wear them as a bandeau again. Or perhaps a beginners "tiara" for Charlotte when she's older.

For the Service of Thanksgiving at Windsor for King Constantine of Greece today, Queen Camilla wore the Greville Ivy clips. This is the first time she has worn these.

These are lovely and I'm glad she wore them to the service. It was a nice way of bringing QEII to the service.

 

[Elly C]

A great choice. I love seeing her wear these jewels rather than they be stored away for some future monarch or consort to wear.

Camilla has certainly been dusting off some wonderful pieces of jewelry, a tiara here, a brooch or three there and a bracelet to knock your socks off. Am I correct in thinking that they have all come from the famous private collection?

Thanks for the info. I had not known that they were Greville heirlooms. I had thought that QEII had been given these pins for a birthday and that the pins were French made.

In the last 18 months or so since the passing of QE2, Queen Camilla has worn a combination of privately owned jewellery (eg, the Girls of GB&I, the Burmese rubies and the Belgian sapphire necklace tiaras) and heirlooms of the crown (eg, the crown Ruby & Diamond necklace, the George IV circlet). These ivy clips are privately owned.
