I wonder whether it's for copyright reasons.
I think that the brooches seen in the photo from the Pinterest site are poor quality reproductions.
The one at the top left of the photo resembles the large emerald brooch worn by the Queen Mother, which many think was left to HM by Mrs Greville.
The brooch in the centre is a copy of Queen Victoria's Fringe Brooch which Hugh Roberts argues may have been made with diamonds presented to Queen Victoria by the Sultan of Turkey. It has been worn by all the queens since Queen Victoria.
The Queen Mother wore the brooch frequently both for day wear and for grand evening occasions.
