Duchess of Gloucester. Diamond daisy brooches
Posted by Beth on November 11, 2018, 9:43 am
At the Festival of Remembrance yesterday evening the Duchess of Gloucester wore what looks like 3 diamond daisy brooches joined by a fine chain.
The only other occasion I have noticed these brooches was for the Asian women achievement awards in May 2015.
Does anyone know more about this jewel? I am convinced it is a brooch (possibly previously used as a stomacher) as in the last photo it is clear that it is not a necklace, although the 3 daisies are linked by a fine chain.
As always I love the Duchess and not only the very elegant way she dresses but her use of jewels.
We always with these items look back to Queen Mary for provenance but his mother Alice came from an extremely wealthy family. Perhaps a Buccleuh piece?

Beautiful pieces and outstanding on the Duchess. They look like pieces from a set of jewellery. The three daisies could be attached to a frame band and worn as a tiara, and I did think they could be a stomacher as well or a set of brooches.
Regards,
Dave.
