    These may have been discussed before but...

    An earlier discussion brought up the fact that there are, no doubt, many of the Queen jewels that we do not see in the normal course of our arduous endeavours to do so.

    Case in point is the Aquamarine and Diamond(?) bar style brooch which The Queen is wearing when she meets a group of St John’s Ambulance Brigade before one of her garden parties as seen in the documentary Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work.
    At the garden part itself, another “regular” brooch is worn (Jardine Star).
    I fear we are missing out on a lot where we do not get as good media coverage.

    There is another brooch uncovered that I am not sure if any one has noticed. The Queen is hosting an “Achievers” reception and Buckingham Palace. During the reception, HM can be seen wearing what looks to be a gold, diamond and pearl brooch (leafy looking to me). You only get a few glimpses of it. At first I thought is was the Australian Wattle base on size and colour but it is not. I think it is some sort of large, gold, heart-shaped, leaf hanging down with the stem(s) at the top.

    Here is the YouTube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ai4JWef1-Y
    Entitled: Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work 4/5

    The aquamarine brooch can be seen from time frame 4:50 to 5:40.
    The other gold brooch from frame 56:19 to 57:30

    I would really appreciate it is anyone has a screen shot of these - or a better picture of course.
    I can not seem to capture it.
    As always, thanks for you help!

    Cheers!
    Bryce
