Dear all,
Please find below photos and videos of the following jewels :
1° Sapphire and diamond hair ornament or small tiara worn in 1934 at the albert hall : (If it is considered as a small tiara it would be the 6ème worn by Queen Elizabeth as Duchess of York as said by Leslie Field) :
Few years ago I asked whether the central stone in the brooch (generaly worn with an emerald and said to be from the Greville bequest) was an amethyst. Bryce confirmed that Queen Elizabeth (QEQM) also either wore this brooch, or an identical one, set with a central square-cut amethyst stone, to the christening of Prince Harry in 1984 (from the blog of jewels's list).

4° Emerald and diamond brooch :
As confirmed in the Royal forum, the emerald and diamond brooch worn by the Duchess of Cornwall was also from Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. Therefore, she has worn 5 emerald and diamonds brooches from QEQM.
