earlier in the day (or maybe the day before)
nope, monday ....On Monday, Their Royal Highnesses were welcomed to Gloucester Cathedral to meet with key individuals from the participation and music departments, before enjoying world-class singing from the Cathedral’s choirs at Choral Evensong.
its hard to see the brooch





the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester paid a visit to Gloucester Cathedral on Tuesday to visit with members of its musical departments.
The Duke and Duchess are both big supporters of choral music and cathedrals, with the Duke patron of Cathedrals in Pilgrimage and the Duchess patron of Cathedral Music Trust.
At Gloucester Cathedral, both are patrons of the ongoing In Tune Organ and Music campaign.

According to the Royal Family’s website, the Duke’s Cathedrals in Pilgrimage patronage sees him visit cathedrals around the United Kingdom to learn more about their operations.

probably a regimental badge on the Queen but im taking it as a win for team brooch

Queen Camilla is Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, and the Colonel's Fund supports Grenadiers who have suffered serious physical or mental injury while on operational service, and their families.
Queen Camilla hosted a reception for the Colonel's Fund at Clarence House, and met with fund members and beneficiaries. This became Queen Camilla's first engagement as patron of the Colonel’s Fund. The Colonel’s Fund was established in 2007 and provides help relating to mobility aid, home improvements, employment training and counselling.

from the other day, just the usual sentimental jewlery and a wee pin


Her Majesty The Queen has hosted a reception to mark the 15th anniversary of the charity, Medical Detection Dogs (MDD). During the reception, Her Majesty met clients who have Medical Alert Assistance Dogs, who are trained by MDD to alert them if a life-threatening medical event is about to happen.

best wrist shot ever, while cutting a cake

if anyone is having corrispondance with the UK govt the royal cypher has now changed

Charles iii is the bottom one, his mother's the top one
everdently there are still old post boxes with Queen Victoria's cypher as they only replace post boxes when they wear out

A look at London’s post boxes from Queen Victoria to Queen Elizabeth II

A brief history of London’s post boxes and how you can tell their age, including when you can expect to see King Charles III’s cypher on them.

memoirsofametrogirl.com

did you know there are 171 post boxes with the traitor King Edward viii cypher on ? not bad for only 326 days
sorry i know they arnt jewles but this one is so pretty - they wernt always red but green

i have to walk a good brisk 20min to find a post box here

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

very nice earrings
a nice gold brooch would not have gone amiss

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

The Duchess of Edinburgh, as Patron of the London College of Fashion (LCF), visited their new home in East Bank.
earrings look nice but its a bit hard to tell

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

they are nice
i mean its always nice to see pearls
but only earrings are a bit too minimal for me
that big shirt collar could have housed some sort of a looser pearl choker under there (thats how i used to wear mine) or even just a long necklace over the shirt

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

back in the days (last year) when Queens wore pearls

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

you know it could be said Di didnt always wear that much jewlery but the gold/brass buttons s made up for it, plus i do spy a bracelet here

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

age appropreate jewlery on the future Queen of the Belgiums

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

i found this old but interesting (to me) article on Charle's wedding ring from Diana
because he was in my home town Dunedin

Charles casts off wedding ring

Prince Charles has finally removed the gold wedding band given to him by Princess Diana when they married 23 years ago. The Prince was photographed for the first time without the ring - which he continued to wear on his signet-ring finger after Diana died - at an official engagement in Dunedin...

www.standard.co.uk

i cant see a ring but i went to school with that boy
Lyndon Perryman, he went to work for the dept of conservation


from the day i meet Diana (sorry i know ive posted it before)



and Charles and Cam also down home





the picture has a Tuatara,this is not a lizzard but the 5th type of reptile
Tuatara are the only surviving members of the order Sphenodontia. This order was well represented by many species during the age of the dinosaurs, some 200 million years ago. All species except the tuatara declined and eventually became extinct about 60 million years ago.
Because of this, tuatara are of huge international interest to biologists. They are recognised internationally and within New Zealand as species in need of active conservation management.
The tuatara is a single species Sphenodon punctatus.

happy birthday to Emperor Naruhito

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

get your specs out
thats a diamond pendant

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

wasted real estate your royal highness

the Swedish vaults must have hair clips or brooches, even hat pins that could be converted

while in NYC

 

[Austina]

Love that Cam and Sophie like dogs and make a fuss of them during visits. I saw footage of the Medical detection dogs visit, one of them was all over Cam, I think it was the friendly labrador

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

i have a coat this colour
saddly rather than a great earring shot it looks like i took this next photo

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

what a boring week, just earrings



The King and Queen of Spain were hosting the Guatemalan president Bernardo Arévalo (second from left) and First Lady Lucrecia Peinado (far right)

at a prayer service for Ukraine

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

im getting desperate but i like the gold jewery and the colour of the dress i love and for once Harry's wife's hair is looking neatish and more tidy than usual
but that diamond pinky ring always looks too loose like its going to fall off and get lost on a cold day

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

I'm sorry Ma'am, i was just desperate for some royal jewlery ('ll try my best not to do it again)

yes Ma'am i know you were watching too

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

@prince.of.preslav how is the Duke's book going ?

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

with Borris gone to the rainbow bridge life is just crawling, every second is like an hour without her, our Princess
the newly accended reigning princess, young Fluffy, is a bit out of sorts, she must miss Borris, she has given me a few cuddles but is in the window sunbathing today
so i am aimlessly watching you tube

i read once that the late Queen was offered this tiara (by her mum?) and she said no, sell it, we have enough tiaras
i do get how it was a perfect tiara for Queen Mary while mourning George V, but for ordinary royal family use it doesnt look grand enough for a Queen
but i feel sorry for amethyst to be first, tainted as mouring jewlery and second, to now days just shoved into cheap and basic silver settings down the mall
i think Catherine would look lovely in amethyst but im not sure she is interested in jewlery enough to bring on a revival

this you tuber is known for making mistakes, i cant usually be bothered with her

this picture is a couple of years old but i like it lots- plus a great pinky ring shot

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

back then this was so excitting, we were too young to have seen Anne's wedding and this young lady was going to be Queen one day
my cousin compiled a scrap book of lady Di leading up to the wedding

The previous owner of the tiara and matching parure has said on Instagram that he bought the jewels for his wife from Princess Margaret. I assume that the amethysts were left to her directly by Queen Mary and she decided they were not to her taste.
I may be very wrong (I'm assuming without looking up the dates) that the sale of the amethysts may have funded the purchase of the might Poltimore.

Mixed up the dates a bit.
Seems like the orininal post on IG is private now and can't be viewed, but you can see a shot of the previous owner's wife wearing the parure and a brief summary of what they said here:

Queen Mary’s Amethyst Tiara

Today marks the Anniversary of the Death of Queen Mary, who died on this day in 1953! The Teck Princess who lived through the reigns of six monarchs and was the Queen Consort for 25 years, as well …

it is sad that something once owned by Queen Charlotte was let go, but that lady looks so wonderful in it on her wedding day,
that hiardresser was money well spent

much better than that Anna what's her name -although it was cool that she wore it the necklace but the fabric of her blouse kind of hid it
i like this next picture the best, do we know who the other lady is ?

i stand by my comment its just not grand enough for a senior member of the BRF except when worn in mourning and that just doesnt happen these days
