--Previous Message-- : There is a clearer version of this photo on : the cover of "The Queen and the : Commonwealth" by Trevor McDonald and it : does not look like the Pearl Triangle. There : is one large pearl and three distinct : smaller pearls above it. : : --Previous Message-- : My first thought was that it was the : "triangle pearl" brooch that LDMJ : mentions.....but upon further review, I am : not 100% convinced that it is. : : It is so hard to get a sense of it due to : the poor quality of the image, with the : glare and the blending into the pattern of : HM's dress. : : But I think that triangle pearl brooch has : more depth than this seem to have and I am : also curious about the dark : "flecks" noticeable mid-brooch. : These may just be effects of lighting etc.?? : : In the meantime, it is a nice picture the : HM's pearl earrings with the diamond studs : on the top and bottom. I don't think we : have seen these worn for some time now. : : Cheers! : Bryce : : --Previous Message-- : She wore it for the first time in 1952 so : too : early to have come from Queen Mary. : : --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : Might this brooch be able to be identified : please? : : I think it is this brooch of unknown : provenance : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
