Torkel if you have a date (or at least a month) in 1977 when she visited Perth I can look it up in my scrapbooks

: Thank you for the explanation, Boffer. It does
: sound convincing.
:
: In addition to the original question about
: the provenance of this amethyst brooch,
: another question, then, is whether the Queen
: has ever worn the Bridge brooch with
: freshwater pearls from the river Tay.
: Perhaps during a visit to Perth?
:
: I have found pictures from the previous
: visit to Perth, in 2005, when her Majesty
: wore the frosted sunflower brooch.
:
: There was also a visit in 1977, but the
: pictures I have are not good enough to se
: the brooch.
:
: Another visit is scheduled during Holyrood
: week this year. Perhaps the brooch will be
: un-dusted for that visit.

: I think it is a totally different brooch as
: the number of amethysts are the only similar
: thing to Fields description.
:
: - in this brooch the amethysts acts as the
: centre of flowers not buds.
:
: - in this brooch there are no pearls, the
: brooch Field described contains pearls
:
: - this brooch contains diamonds, The brooch
: Field describes doesn't mention diamonds.
:
: - this brooch is a floral spray, not a
: bouquet (if you compare Field's use of the
: description bouquet, she uses it connected
: to brooches that are clusters of flowers,
: like 'The Queen's Flower Basket Brooch'' not
: long floral sprays)
:
: - also I don't see any ferns in this brooch,
: just diamond set leaves (what's more, as
: mentioned above, Field describes the ferns
: as being of different coloured golds, here
: these leaves are diamond set)
:
: Which I believe makes it pretty conclusive
: that the brooch Field describes is a wholly
: different one that we have just never
: actually seen.

: Happy to respond.
:
: Boffer there are 7 amethysts in this brooch
: plus ferns and grasses. Why do you not think
: it is the Queens Bridge Brooch?

: the Queen's Bridge in Perth Scotland. Brooch
: is miniature flower bouquet with 7
: amethysts buds surrounded by white and
: yellow gold ferns and grasses with central
: group of 12 freshwater mauve tinted pearls
