The earring worn by the Queen are large pendant pearl earrings, suspended from two diamond collets - Field has referred to these as 'Queen Victoria's Pearl Earrings.
These earrings have been worn often by the Queen, including during the State Banquet hosted in honour of President Barrack Obama. And notably, in respect to this occasion, they were worn by the Queen to her first State Opening of Parliament as Queen in 1952.
Interestingly as well, is that the Duchess of Cornwall wears the same rose brooch attaching her sash, as she did in Amsterdam.
This rose brooch was first given to Queen Mary as a wedding gift in 1893, from the West Yorkshire Regiment. In 1923, Queen Mary presented this rose brooch to Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother as a wedding gift.
It is now being worn by the Duchess of Cornwall.
