I don't like the green stones with the blue stones.

I really like the color combination of stones, like the blues and greens of the sea.

They are available from Royal British Legion online Poppy Shop website. Looks gorgeous though.
Cropped, resized from a larger image and constitutes less than 20% of the original.

It's a special poppy, which is worn in remembrance of British troops who have given their lives for their country. The proceeds from the sale of these brooches go to the Royal British Legion who support service personnel and their families.
I'm not sure I'd call it 'costume jewellery'.

I like the crystal poppy brooch; it's really unusual. And those gold earrings are very dramatic and suit her well. It's nice to see her wearing jewelry with more flair.

One question to my fellow posters - I am not aware, that the duchess has ever worn the earrings from her wedding again - the one which she has received from her parents with the achorns.
I know she has not worn a tiara again - but I would have expected at least the earrings - did I miss anything?

I don't believe she has worn them since, certainly not publicly. It's possible, for example, that she wore them at Christmas at Sandringham given that the RF dress formally for meals at Christmas. Or maybe she's waiting for a really special occasion.

I was mistaken too about the diamonds until someone shared the new info with me.

Those are pretty pearl drop earrings, but I wish they were larger. She can certainly wear a larger set of pearls.

what an interesting Ruby brooch - I can wait to hear the provenance of this piece.
