Today at Royal Ascot, the Queen wore The Duchess of Teck's Emperor of Austria's Brooch; without the diamond swag and pearl pendants, just the large diamond and pearl-centre cluster.

I thought it looked familiar but couldn't place it. Thanks for that - found a nice pic of the original. Nice to see it in the light of day after many years of being hidden away: --Previous Message-- : Today at Royal Ascot, the Queen wore The : Duchess of Teck's Emperor of Austria's : Brooch; without the diamond swag and pearl : pendants, just the large diamond and : pearl-centre cluster. : : :

It is nice to see it today, even without the pendants. Having been worn throughout the decades it is interesting that the brooch went unseen for over 15 years, before resurfacing at the US State Banquet last year. I hope it is in the exhibition this summer. India, 1961 Beaton sitting, 1964 Anthony Buckley sitting, 1962 Not sure - Japan, 1975?

Thank you for those pics Baxter. I am constantly surprised at how the various brooches can appear to change so much when a drop or swag is removed. --Previous Message-- : : It is nice to see it today, even without the : pendants.

I've edited the post to add the dates - not sure about one. Should have done that to begin with, but I was in a hurry.

Re: Dates - Thanks Baxter n/t
