Brooches owed QE QM Posted by Dave on October 3, 2018, 1:23 pm Saw these while looking around, were they truly jewels of the late QM? https://www.pinterest.com/pin/387450374174857929/ Regards, Dave.

Re: Brooches owed QE QM Posted by Beth on October 4, 2018, 10:27 am, in reply to "Brooches owed QE QM" 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.

You can often find on the web poor quality copies of pieces where the design if very similar but changed slightly. I wonder whether it's for copyright reasons.
