    : As far as I know, Queen Elizabeth II has not
    : worn this brooch since her teenage years -
    : at least, I do not have later pictures of
    : her wearing it (but if anyone has a picture
    : proving I am wrong about this, please post
    : it! ). Which is a pity, as this brooch is
    : really lovely.
    :
    : I have not seen this brooch worn by any of
    : the Queen's daughter or daughters-in-law
    : either, so I think we can suppose that it is
    : still in the Queen's possession.

    : Thanks everyone. Nellie's lovely big picture shows just how gorgeous the brooch is. I especially love the carved leaves. It is just so naturalistic. I much prefer it to the well known and often worn Flower Basket Brooch. Like Arthur, I hope there is another picture of the Queen wearing it. Given that she is quite sentimental with her jewellery choices, I can't help wondering if the Flower Basket could have replaced the Jardiniere which I hope was not lost at some point - just conjecture of course.
