I have a notation that HM received a floral spray brooch from the Girl Guides as a gift for her 21st birthday... here is my entry... On her 21st birthday, Princess Elizabeth was presented with a floral spray brooch, set with diamonds. Each spray was in the shape of a trefoil, mounted in gold and platinum and tied with a diamond bow. The top trefoil, set with topaz and diamonds, represented Brownies. The left-hand trefoil, set with rubies and diamonds, represented Rangers, and the right-hand trefoil, set with sapphires and diamonds, represented Guides. Has anyone ever seen a picture of this brooch? Cheers! Bryce
