As Beth said, I have looked at those photos so often; yet, failed to notice the flag pinned to the velvet choker.
I do love Beth's sentence : It proves that there is always something new to discover!

Love those earrings on PD, does anyone happen to know the stones they are made of? They look quite serious and may not be costume jewels as previously thought.

A burgee is usually a flag bearing the colours or emblem of a sailing club which is usually triangular but can be any other shape as well. Benzie of Cowes for example still makes jewelled pieces and at one time held many Royal warrants including that of Edward VII.

Here the future Queen Mother also wears one while at Cowes.
While not at Cowes at the America's Cup Ball held in London in 1986 the then Princess of Wales wore one of these brooches on a velvet choker.
