Thank you for the wonderful close up photos Arthur. When I zoomed in on the photos, it is clear that this is the RAF eagle with a crown. I fancy the eagle's head is pointing to the left in this particular badge. --Previous Message-- : The brooch has been worn several times before, : and always for events in connection with the : Royal Air Force, so I guess it is a RAF : badge (though I have never seen a good : close-up of the brooch). It is the case here : too, as mentioned by Barbara D. (Battle of : Britain Fighter Association Service of : thanksgiving and rededication at Westminster : Abbey). : : The pearl necklace with the sapphire clasp : is new to me. I have never seen this clasp : (which, considering its size, could probably : be worn also as a brooch), either on the : Duchess of Cornwall, or on Queen Elizabeth : II or on Queen-Mother Elizabeth or on Queen : Mary. This Art Deco clasp looks very fine. I : do not know if the whole necklace is new, or : if it is a new interchangeable clasp which : could be swapped with other clasp(s) on an : already-seen necklace (Camilla has so many : pearl necklaces...). : : : : : : : : : : : : --Previous Message-- : It are wings. The occasion was a Service of : Thanksgiving and Rededication and after a : reception from the Battle of Britain : Association. : : : : : There is another lady on the right wearing a : similar badge as The Duchess : : : : : --Previous Message-- : : This is a new piece to me and the center : jewel is interesting. Could someone identify : HRH's brooch for me? Thank you! : --Previous Message-- : I've just seen this photograph of the : Duchess : of Cornwall at Westminster Abbey, is her : necklace a new one - I certainly do not : recall seeing it before ! : : : : : : : :
