Might someone have made a list with pictures of The Queens rose brooches please?

There are so many of them, that will be fun to have them altogether and named.

please take notice

That is a question only joye can answer of course but I think maybe it could be down to frustration of not having had any reaction to her thread. This last thread where joye tried to start a discussion on a specific section of Queen Elizabeth II's brooches was probably just the last drop after several such occurences.

I hope I can be forgiven for making these general assumptions without knowing for certain the exact reason for joye's reaction.

Well, golly. If I took a noisy timeout every time I tried to start a thread here with no replies, lol…
The truth is, this board is slowly fading into insouciance. We all know it, the pull of quick and easy social media has spread even to royal jewels. I spend way more time on Instagram, and I know others do too.

ps- and not everyone is interested in British brooches.

We might be interested in the subject, in this case QEII's rose brooches, but have no knowledge of them and so cannot post a meaningful reply.

Part of the problem is that the people who have "admin" access to the board don't have *enough* access to add people. It's been very hard getting in touch with the board owner. I think Marianne had a higher level of admin privileges.

I hadn't looked at the "history of royal jewels" board for quite a while, and its level of activity seemed on par with this one's.

So, yeah, if I'm not interested in a subject, I won't post. I also have zero photo-uploading skills, and I don't go to Instagram. I've been on this board for 20 years, and I don't plan to leave it.

“ps- and not everyone is interested in British brooches.”

Just my thought.
And also for my part I am not that interested in retrospective threads about what deceased royals used to wear. Unless we see a piece resurrect from the vaults and worn by a living royal. Then it might be interesting to discuss.

Re: please take notice

Exactly --we participate in topics that interest us *because* they interest us.

My suggestion, Joye, is that you start off such a list with some images you have found and post them. Others might be appreciative and stimulated to follow suit. There is something a little off-putting about asking for a list--exptecting others to have done the work--without volunteering some information or pictures yourself. If no one replies with a list, perhaps you could create one yourself and offer it to the other posters.

QEII rose brooches - My List

Posted by Bryce <iframe src='https://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/info/user=Double+B' width='330' height='300' border=0 style='border:none;'> on July 10, 2024, 7:51 pm, in reply to "QEII rose brooches"

Hi Joye
I did not have time earlier, but I have some now, so here is my list of rose brooches.
It is surprisingly short – only 12 (out of my list of 200+)

The names I use may not be the same as some others use, but they help me to remember and differentiate things.
If you cannot figure one out, let me know.

Cartier Diamond Rose Clip
Centenary Rose
Commonwealth Wild Rose (single)
Coral Roses
Oman Double Rose Gold Roses (2 blooms + bud)
Nizam of Hyderabad Roses (1 lg & 2 sm)
QEQM All Diamond Rose
Riga Rose (bud in silver)
Rose and Thistle
Sapphire & Emerald Rose
Tudor Rose (pewtery)
Vanguard Rose

You should be able to Google these to find an image if you do not have one already

Cheers!
Bryce

Re: Queen Camilla rose brooches - My List

Taking a quick look, it seems Camilla has worn few rose brooches - I count only two.
But as always, feel free to correct me on this.

She wore QEII's Sapphire and Emerald Rose Brooch a couple of weeks ago and she has worn an all diamond rose brooch to secure her Garter sash - but I am unsure of the origin of this one

Cheers!
Bryce

Reluctantly I have to agree with you when it comes to the current situation of these Message Boards. But I am still not willing to give up

I do not have Instagram myself - nor will I - (call me "old-fashioned") as I believe that the quality of the discussions had here is much higher than over on those social media platforms.

As for the lack of replies sometimes... I sometimes jokingly tell myself that the most efficient way to stop a discussion is to actually post a reply to any message myself.

Sometimes it can be frustrating to not have any replies but on the other hand why should anybody reply if they don't have anything to say

With fewer and fewer events where grand jewels are worn I must admit that I rather enjoy looking back at the "old days" when things were different (i.e. better imho). We seem to know a lot about the jewels worn today (especially the pieces in the British Royal Family's collection), but there are still so many things to discover that I hope we will never tire of digging and look back (as well as forward) on those sparkling treasures that are Royal jewels.
