I always eagerlly await the pictures of the Duchess of Gloucester at the City of London Guildhal banquets.

The detail of the pair of brooches in the back is exquisite, and of someone who knows she is going to be fotographed at all angles, and needs to look regal and perfect in all of them. It reminds me of her late majesty, who was always superb on this sort of details.

I've seen the gems referred to as kunzite and as topaz... any source on what gem these are?

I dont remember seing that long pendant before... It looks just wonderful. Does anyone have any image of it being worn previously? It would be much apreciated.
