In my eyes both pics are the same brooch, and I think it is the one worn by Queen Elizabeth today.
She doesn't often wear opals, but I like the colour range of the stones in this brooch. And It matches well with the colour of today's coat.

Does anyone know of anything ever being written in depth about the various appeals for funding these "women's" and "girls" gifts of jewels? Everything I have ever read made it sound like a very egalitarian effort (at least to my reading). But I rather suspect it had much more to do with local nobles and gentry and larger gifts of money. Anyone know of any sources on this?
If not, and if you had access to the right letters and records (like lists of donors), it would make a great book, maybe.

I love the Hampshire brooch. Unique with large diamonds and the one pearl.
