Hi Franck. I have been thinking some more about your post and QEII’s aquamarine brooches. You mention 11 brooches. I think that is too high. You only list 9 items. I am assuming that you consider that the Curved Clips of QEQM (4th on your list) were inherited by HM. I do not know that QEII has ever worn these – but please correct me if I am wrong. Also, the piece you mention worn by the Duchess of Cornwall – I assume you mean the large aqua choker. Are you assuming that it was inherited by The Queen and just on loan to Camilla? In my thinking, I would have to include this with Camilla’s jewels as I never expect that HM will wear this piece. However, I would add to the list the floral brooch with the aquamarine vase (see picture) as I consider this an aquamarine piece as it is the biggest stone. My List 1) Cartier clips (from 1944) 2) Brazilian 3) Small Square with curved branches 4) Curved Aqua & Dia Clips – assumed inherited 5) Brooch seen in documentary 6) QEQM Aqua & Dia (recently worn) – (I personally do not think this a double clip) 7) Floral with Aqua vase (above) I have not seen the brooch with the pearl pendant – so it is in my unconfirmed list. I also have not included the piece worm by Camilla (as noted above) Therefore, I only get to 7 or 8. Am I missing something – or are you counting the various clips as separate pieces? Cheers!
