--Previous Message-- : It is indeed the breast star of the Dutch : order received during Queen Beatrix's State : visit to the UK in 1982. The sash of the : order is fastened at shoulder's level with : the big sapphire and diamond brooch, which : was presented to Diana as a wedding gift by : the Queen Mother, and which Diana had later : mounted as the centrepiece of one of her : famous and most impressive chokers. : : Pictures of the late Princess of Wales with : a brooch are actually very rare.

It is the only picture I : have seen of this reception, so I don't know : if this bow brooch is made of real stones, : or if it is costume jewellery: : : : : (sorry, I do not remember who posted these : pictures first - probably on this board, or : on the GREMB) : : Has anyone other pictures of Diana wearing : brooches? Thanks in advance! : : At the time of the Duke and Duchess of : Cambridge's wedding in 2011, it was reported : in the Canadian press that the Canadian : government had gifted Diana, at the time of : her wedding to Prince Charles, with a gold : and lapis-lazuli brooch, but I have never : seen a picture of this brooch. : : :
