In my opinion, the one worn by the Queen Mother in the picture in your post, Beth, is different from the one worn by Princess Diana here in the white and black newspaper photo from my collection because the inner circle of diamonds (which surrounded the sapphire) worn by the Queen Mother shows a different color (meaning they could be set in gold) from the one in Diana's brooch (as a central piece on the multi-strand pearl choker). So Alyend here said it might be a Russian sapphire brooch, which looks a lot like the one worn by the Queen Mother. I think what QEQM wore is this Russian sapphire brooch. --Previous Message-- : I wonder if this brooch is the large sapphire : given by QEQM to Diana, Princess of Wales? : : : http://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/news-photo/the-queen-mother-with-princess-margaret-at-epsom-racecourse-news-photo/89738965 :
