No, it's absolutely not that one. It looks very much like a platinum/diamond oblong - it's very square and white. https://images.hellomagazine.com/imagenes/fashion/royal-style/20221225160160/queen-consort-camilla-elegant-christmas-outfit-sandringham/0-778-775/cam-charles-z.jpg Previous Message Happy New Year GillW I am pretty sure that HM wore QEQM's topaz/citrine art deco style brooch Here is a link with details thereof https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/2018/11/the-duchess-of-cornwalls-citrine-art.html

I’m afraid I don’t recognize the brooch. It looks like a diamond plaque, but I haven’t seen a clearer picture. Previous Message No, it's absolutely not that one.

Yes, I feel it is something like the one in this link. It may have been a Christmas gift, of course... (and DO take a minute to view the little video clip of it "moving", too) https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.1stdibs.com%2Fjewelry%2Fbrooches%2Fbrooches%2Fcertified-art-deco-platinum-gold-770-carat-diamond-rectangle-pin-brooch%2Fid-j_16884842%2F%3F%26currency%3Dgbp%26utm_content%3Dcondensed%26allowUniversalLink%3Dno%26gclid%3DCjwKCAiA2L-dBhACEiwAu8Q9YH_nIFhI2R57wOyDI0ByBdP02o_H-IK004nDcYHxyuRcvZFiCjNy-RoCalEQAvD_BwE%26gclsrc%3Daw.ds%26fbclid%3DIwAR0j59A-opyOSC1yipKuVyQ1uDU0vIS9VkAaLZhFSSczOUWxrKT5S9CxK84&h=AT2Nd-8qiqq6Tcf7Rlk7KSaZd7V-4ToXfwA2o2l0jy-dfbbIrDQHYf-H1baA30E54W_UIRzZAFJ7WCUv1yzADhSkDZwrNtAmafdITBiuB9XIbBmpBzyxifBqpGvZuL2dzOyihA Previous Message Best pic I could find in getty images

I only said that it looked somewhat similar to the one in the link. I did not mean that it WAS the same one. https://cdn.entertainmentdaily.com/2022/12/26094302/Camilla-and-Prince-Louis-800x418.jpg Previous Message The linked brooch is very interesting to study but I don't think it is the same brooch. Camilla's has four straight sides, and clear diagonal lines corner to corner, whereas the top and bottom of the linked one are not straight edges and not the diagonals corner to corner.

I think you saw the Carol Concert, with her white coat. That was recorded a few days before Christmas though. Not to worry x We'll all enjoy a nice clear photo when one finally emerges! Previous Message Sorry GillW I must have been thinking of the wrong event.

There are some slightly better photos of Camilla's Christmas Day brooch can be seen here: https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/2023/01/queen-camillas-dazzling-diamond-christmas-brooch.html#more-44499 Previous Message Does anyone have any information, or maybe a clear photo of the oblong brooch Queen Camilla wore to church on Christmas day? Hard to see any detail at all from the few photos I've found so far. Hope you all had a good Christmas, and wishing everyone a wonderful 2023 xx

It certainly looks to be a rather large diamond in the middle - dazzling. Previous Message This is the best I could do with it. It does seem to be all diamond where I had previously thought there might be a pearl centre.

A new purchase given as a Christmas present, I suppose? Previous Message It certainly looks to be a rather large diamond in the middle - dazzling. Previous Message This is the best I could do with it. It does seem to be all diamond where I had previously thought there might be a pearl centre.

It could be a new piece. It does look like an Art Deco Design, could it have been a piece bequeathed to QEQM from Mrs. Greville? Eugenie's wedding tiara sat for many years before seeing the light of day and it was a Greville piece. What ever the origin, it's a stunning brooch.

You are absolutely right, karenl, it could possibly be an unseen piece from the Greville bequest. Previous Message It could be a new piece.
