Hello GillW, the second brooch you are mentioning (Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia's sapphire and pearl drop brooch) has been actually seen several times this year. Not really the kind of brooch which can be classified in the "not seen for a while" category... Just for 2014: 25 February 2014: audience with the new High commissionner of Namibia and the new Ambassador of Serbia 21 May, 2014: audience with the Governor-General of the Solomon Islands Sir Frank Utu Ofagioro Kabui 9 June, 2014: reception at Buckingham Palace to recognise the UK technology sector 17 June, 2014: audience with the Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang and his wife Cheng Hong at Windsor Castle I would be delighted if all the Queen's brooches were so frequently worn! --Previous Message-- : Or, of course, it could be the other : sapphire... : : : : : Or indeed, this one - not seen for a : while... : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Since the little Prince's first BD party was : strictly private, I fear we'll never see a : picture of HM - or at least not one, where a : brooch would be perfectly visible... On DM's : pictures (who - in opposition to their : written words - are often the best : availabe), one can only spot a little : glimpse of the upper part of HM's brooch. : IMO, a cluster of diamonds, set in yellow : gold... Given the colour of The Queen's : dress and the number & size of the : diamonds, I guess it could be the Albert : Sapphire Brooch (the brownish touch may be : due the light). : : : : : : http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IPgHw06vlXY/Tz289ethA1I/AAAAAAAAGFM/8B7_PcNZfPQ/s1600/AlbertSapphireBrooch.jpg : Picture by courtesy : OrderOfSartorialSplendour-Blog : : : : : : http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/07/22/article-2701716-1FE15FD400000578-919_964x681.jpg : : : : : http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/07/22/article-2701716-1FE1584A00000578-433_964x548.jpg : : Both pictures by courtesy of Daily Mail/GC : images : : : : :
