While QEII’s brooches tend to be of a floral or geometric design, she does have some “fauna” brooches as well. I counted at least 6 from my list – one being the swan already noted. Angela Kelley’s book shows a brooch of a red bird on a twig – the provenance of which I have no knowledge. HM’s Diamond Jubilee Dove brooch from the British Jewelers Association is not as lifelike as others such as her diamond and Ruby Butterfly brooch (for Juscha) .
