The video shows a visit to the British Industries Fair on 15 February 1937. From time to time in the video I fancy that I can see the second brooch showing amongst the flowers.
Some stills of the brooch on HM's hat.
Once again I have not been able to find a description of HM's jewels on this occasion, although the dress and hat were in a shade of dark brown.
For the visit to the British Industries Fair, HM was wearing the same dress and coat she wore when departing from London in December 1937 when she also wore these mystery brooches.
Leaving London 22 December 1937
When she wore the same brooches on the centre of her dress at a garden party in 1937 her dress was described as being ecru in colour. Because of the dress colours, I suspect that the brooches are emeralds. Sapphire or ruby would not work well with a dark brown.
Hopefully, some day I will find a description of the brooches.
