I always thought Zara might wear this ring some day, to no avail.
No I don't unfortunately. I will try and link to the website...
I'm speculating that they're sapphires to match her gown; hard to tell.
One of my favourite jewels in Anne's collection is definitely her sapphire choker. I'd really love to know whether it's a loan or a gift!

This brooch from today is new to me. Does anyone recognize it (the big gold one) http://www4.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Not+Forgotten+Association+Garden+Party+XJjkyfvmjpEl.jpg
It is a brooch she has had for many years - I think it is a Grima piece.

Thanks Kitty Atlanta! I had no idea about the Grima style and am thrilled to find out I have several pieces in the personal collection in the style of Grima! I do learn a lot here at the forums.The brooch certainly does use Grima's techniques. I believe their shop held a royal warrant when Anne was a teenager (not sure, tho).
If you go to this website below showcasing items wrought for royalty(not just BRF). Scroll down until you can see where the Princess Royal's photo is also on that page. grima royal jewelry - Bing Images
Garden party today and look what the Princess Royal added to her suit!

Wow! Fine gemstone brooch and necklace!
I received a pearl necklace when I was 18 and never wear it. I have also an old diamond brooch. I will do as Princess Anne, I will shorten my necklace and will hang the brooch as pendent! Well done
Might this brooch have emerged from the redone aqua pine cone tiara?
Also, note that her earrings are very similar to the ones HM wears almost every day.
Love the brooch and the pearl and added brooch idea. Thank you Camilla for the symbolism of the aquas, what a lovely idea.
If only Anne's suit wasn't so baggy and she replaced the black shoes and navy gloves with a lighter color...but sorry that is for another thread
