"Wonderful to see Cullinan V after so long an absence"
Well, it has just been... two weeks since the Cullinan V brooch was last worn! 
14 October 2014: Queen Elizabeth II holds an audience with Dame Marguerite Pindling upon her appointment as Governor-General of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and invested her with the Insignia of a Dame Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George at Buckingham Palace in London, England:
 
I agree, though, that it had been a long time, before that, since the brooch had been worn. My last recording, before this October, was a Commonwealth reception at Marlborough House, London, on 11 March, 2013 (I may have missed a few occasions, though):
 
Anyway, the Cullinan V brooch probably remains one of the most-frequently worn (if not the most frequently worn) of the Queen's brooches. Maybe GillW can confirm?
