What a lovely picture of Queen Beatrix, Gert-Jan. Thank you for sharing it here on this board ! No, I don't think, that QB's brooch is the same as QJ's for the following reasons: - QB's brooch seems more oval while QJ's looks more elliptic to me (beside the tassels on the latter's brooch, which could be removable). - QB's brooch seems to have a 'gap' between the surrounding diamonds and the central stone in opposition to QJ's where the diamonds seem to be close to the central stone - The central stone in QJ's brooch looks like having a faceted cut whilst QB's one seems to be a cabochon. - The number of surrounding diamonds in QB's brooch is 19. If I counted correct (not so easy because the side-attached pendants) in QJ's brooch 20 or 21... --Previous Message-- : Is this the same brooch? : : Queen Juliana november 1968 : : : Queen Beatrix, Middelburg 2009 : : Photo made by me :
