    Hello Arthur,

    Thank you for your very beautiful photos !!

    To me, the Doc has worn on least 5 emerald and diamond brooches from Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother :

    - the Ladies of North Wales brooch (worn by the Queen Mother).
    - the Prince of Wales brooch with emerald pendant (might be also the one worn by Diana, Princess of Wales);
    - The emerald and diamond Greville brooch (also worn by the Queen Mother);
    - The bar brooch made of three emeralds in a diamond surrounded (not worn by Queen Mother ?)
    - A small emerald and diamond brooch (also worn by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother)
    It is said that this brooch is the arrow brooch given to Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother as a wedding gift but I don't think so. Unfortunelty; I didn't find a photo on internet of Doc wearing the brooch)

    - the small emerald and gold shamrock brooch also worn by the Duchess of Cambridge ;

    We have on least 4 emerald and diamond brooches that are currently not worn :

    - the second emerald and diamond brooch from Miss Greville (described in Leslie Field on the section concerning emerald)

    2°The (25’s anniversary wedding gift)emerald and diamond brooch from her husband : I don't remember but it was said on the blog that this brooch below was from her husband which is very possible to me (she has worn this brooch for the baptism of Princess Ann)

    3°The emerald and diamond arrow brooch as
    a wedding gift in 1923 (might be number n°5):

    might be the one worn by the Doc : but I don't think so. Indeed the brooch worn the Queen Mother and the Doc is not for me an arrow.

    4° The 3 emerald, diamond and gold brooch (your post)

    Queen Elizabeth might have worn also other emerald and diamond brooches, for exemple (posted by someone on the board):





    I have an other brooch which is also considered as a emerald and diamond brooch.

    Best regards,

    Franck
