Thanks for your response folks.

I agree with your comments surrounding large / highly valuable pieces not being gifted. However, perhaps I was not clear in my original post. I’m thinking more about a simple brooch gifted to a granddaughter on their 21st birthday for example.

Returning to the nexus of my post, there are SO many examples of brooches that just can’t all be physically worn, for example, any of the following might have been gifted to Beatrice or Eugenie:
- Diamond Rose of York
- each receiving one of the smaller Nizam of Hyderabad Rose Brooches.
- the Vanguard Rose Brooch
- the diamond swan
- the Malta Aquamarine
- the coral rose
- the Emerald and Diamond Celtic Knot Brooch
- the Gold Lace Work Brooch
- the Gold Trellis Brooch
- the multi coloured floral spray
- the Queen Mother’s multi coloured leaf brooch
- the Sapphire and Ruby Flower Spray Brooch and Earrings
- the Tutti Frutti Bouquet Brooch

The list could go on.... Each of these are smaller in value and ALL would be worn with pride by any granddaughter. I really believe we would have seen the girls repeatedly wear any of the above items at Royal gatherings over the years eg Ascot, weddings, Trooping of Colour etc... However, to date it does not appear to be the practice of QEII to pass on anything. Not a criticism, just an observation.

Again, thanks for your houghton in your responses.
