Yes, I also see a match ! It would be an other discover !
Like a "cross". We can see the same detail and the same oval stone !

--Previous Message-- : What an interesting observation, Brock. Thank : you. : : I can understand why Brock has made the : connection with the Malta brooch of QEII. : Unfortunately, my eye is not good enough to : determine what brooch Queen Mary is wearing : pinned to the centre of her bodice. : : One thing I have noticed in reading : descriptions of Queen Mary's gowns is that : she often wore emeralds with pale blue : dresses, so I would not dismiss the : suggestion of different coloured jewels : being worn at one time, although normally HM : wore matching jewels. : : Of course, it is an assumption on my part : that, because the brooch at Queen Mary's : throat has the shape of shamrock leaves, it : contains emeralds. It may not. : : Now that we have other possibilities to : consider, others may have further insights. : : PS I didn't find any description of HM's : dress - colour etc or her jewels for this : occasion in any of the newspapers I have : access to. : : : : --Previous Message-- : I don't have any insight on the upper : brooch, : but my eye was drawn to the partially : obscured brooch below that. : : It looks to me like a possible match to the : mysterious aquamarine brooch worn by HM to : open CHOGM 2015 in Malta: : : : : --Previous Message-- : The following photo, taken in Preston on 8 : July 1913 during King George's and Queen : Mary's tour of Lancashire, has me intrigued. : : I wonder if the brooch at HM's throat could : be the 4 leaf clover brooch given to Queen : Mary by Sir Frederick and Lady Milner as a : wedding gift. : : Here is a link to a previous discussion on : this question - within this thread there are : links to earlier threads, so I will not list : them all individually. : : : http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/thread/1445523804.html : : Unfortunately, the Court circular in the : Times does not give a description of HM's : jewels for this occasion. Nor have I found : one in the provincial press (to which I have : access) for this particular day of the tour. : : : : : : :
