    Thank you for the great close-up Arthur.

    I too surmised that this brooch might have been a gift back in the 1940's or 50's.

    Cheers!

    : Well spotted, Joye!
    :
    : This brooch is pictured in Angela Kelly's
    : book Dressing The Queen .
    :
    : It looks like a flower bouquet, with the
    : five flowers made of sapphire and ruby
    : petals with a diamond centre, surrounded by
    : engraved emerald leaves, and diamond stems.
    : Lovely and beautiful - and typical of the
    : multigem "tutti frutti" jewellery
    : style that Cartier made fashionable in the
    : 1920s/1930s. Maybe it was another gift to
    : the Queen in the early years of her life.
    :
    : I do not know if the Queen has ever worn
    : this brooch before last Sunday, but I have
    : no pictures of her wearing it.

    : this a new one?
