    Thank you Franck and Arthur. I can now see that it is this brooch.

    Regarding the bracelet.

    The one seen in the video I posted is definitely not the one we have seen worn by QEII and Queen Mary and which I suspect may have been given to Queen Victoria as a wedding gift by her aunts.

    This is the one I am referring to



    Nor does the shape of the side of the bracelet appear to match that in the very clear image Arthur provided last year.




    I think this image showing the general shape was posted by Franck.


    Nor do I think the bracelet in the video or Franck's first photo is Queen Alexandra's Welsh wedding git which QEQM wore several times. Both seem to lack the distinctive large element with the emerald.

    Queen Alexandra's bracelet worn during the 1950 French State visit.


    Thanks for pointing out the ring Franck. I would love to see a clear photo of it.
