Another mystery!! How I wish we could get good images of this brooch!

The only photos I could find in the newspapers (and none in the photo agencies I checked) were absolutely no help.

A screen shot detail from the video Bryce gave us a link to.

Despite these limitations, I think that 992234177 is correct and that it is the brooch I call the gold, ruby and diamond trellis brooch, as, at one stage, I got a glimpse which suggested that brooch. Yet, I was unable to do a screen shot of that particular point in the video.

This brooch was a wedding present to QEII by the jewellers and goldsmiths. According to the report below (which I published some time ago) QEII personally selected the brooch from a choice of 3 presented to her for consideration.



992234177 I notice that you referred to the brooch as the Garrard brooch. Do you have information that Garrard jewellers made the brooch?
