Can anyone determine which brooch Princess Elizabeth wore to this church service in Malta?
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.
One press photo
A detail from the photo above.
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.
The gold, ruby and diamond trellis brooch.
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?

If I had to choose one - it would be the one Franck identified - what I know as the Gold Trellis Leaf Brooch.
I say this because, when I was looking at the brooch in the video, it seemed to have the shape of a North American Indian headdress with all of the feathers pointing the the left in the same why that all the elements of this brooch point.
Also 992234177 - this is the brooch that I have noted as the wedding gift to HM by the Directors of Garrard's
