Empress Maria Feodorovna’s Sapphire Brooch
Posted by Janet on December 17, 2021, 5:47 am
The Princess Royal wore it a few weeks ago and the Queen wore it yesterday for an audience with the Sultan of Oman. Its quite interesting that the Queen is sharing what I would call her actively worn jewels with daughter, of course the Duchess of Cambridge and Countess of Wessex borrow items from the Queen's collection but I got the sense those were items the Queen herself no longer wears.
The Greville ruby necklace was worn by the Queen sometimes after it had been worn by Catherine at the spanish State Visit.

The brooch looks entirely different to the one seen on the Princess Royal, I can't explain, the diamonds just like whiter and more pronounced, to think about it as well the pearl drop also looks freash, if I didn't know different I'd think this was a close twin of the brooch seen on the Princess Royal. The picture is resplendent though.
