Dear all,
the first one is a brooch given by her husband (Field)
I didn't know the diamond and precious stones clip brooches.
The last one is an emerald and diamond brooch also given by her husband for her silver wedding anniversary (25 years)

: with rubies are often pinned at her Garter
: Riband". I think that would account for
: two of the brooches in your picture,
: although Her Majesty clearly is wearing

: even further at the shoulder, her Majesty is
: also wearing Queen Victoria's diamond double
