Dear airgrette; The ascot brooch was included in our lists. Franck described as "the Queen Mother's double clip aquamarine and diamond brooch". I however, do not believe that it is a double clip and I find this description misleading. I think this is what it call on "Her Majesty's Jewel Vault" site. Cheers! Bryce --Previous Message-- : Haven't you forgotten the diamond and : aquamarine brooch worn at Ascot this year, : and inherited from the Queen Mother? This is : different to the curved clips listed above. : : --Previous Message-- : 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! : Bryce : : : --Previous Message-- : Dear all, : : : Please find below my list of aquamarine and : diamond brooches owned or/ and worn by Queen : Elizabeth II (To me on least 11 aquamarine : and diamond brooches) : : : - the aquamarine clips ; : - the brazilian aquamarine and diamond : brooch ; : - the small aquamarine and diamond brooch : (worn at the diamond jubilee trust : reception); : - the curved diamond and aquamarine clips : owned by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother : (described by Leslie Field) : - the square aquamarine brooch with two : curved diamond branches brooch described by : Leslie Field. : Unworn ? never seen a photo of the brooch : - A square aquamarine and diamond brooch : (posted by Baxter I think) ; photo taken : from an documentary of Queen Elizabeth II - : Have you got a better photo of the brooch ? : - An aquamarine and diamond brooch with a : pearl pendant ? worn in the 70's or in the : 80's with a pink dress ; Have you got a : photo of the brooch ? : : - the Queen Mother's double clip aquamarine : and diamond brooch : : : - an central aquamarine stone framed by : diamonds and surrounded by larger round : diamonds worn by the Duchess of Cornwall : (must be from Queen Elizabeth the Queen : Mother) : : Best regards, : : Franck : : : : :
