Diamond Jubilee Reception

The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh hosted a reception for those involved in organizing and supporting the events of the Diamond Jubilee this year.
And she makes up for a run of three events in the same brooches with something interesting! I'm racking my brain on this one, and haven't come up with a match yet. Seems to be a delicate gold design, filigree almost, and perhaps set with some small diamonds. More pondering required. Thoughts or further information? (Update: It was a Diamond Jubilee gift!)

Updates from the Past

As time allows, I add events and jewels worn in the past by the Queen. I'm currently working my way back through the 2012 events which occurred before the blog started. These posts are dated back to when they actually occurred, so they don't appear on the front page of the blog. In case you missed them, here are the latest past event and jewel updates:

Eton Jubilee Celebration

The Queen visited Eton College for dinner and a concert in celebration of her Diamond Jubilee.
Hmm, this looks familiar...oh that's right. Déjà vu! Well, good to see her out and about at any rate, since she pulled out of an investiture earlier in the day due to a bad back.

Diamond Jubilee Pageant Reception

The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh gave a reception for the organizers and supporters of the Diamond Jubilee Pageant at Windsor Castle.
The Aquamarine Clips seem to have a cozy little spot as the cocktail brooches, don't they?

Windsor and Eton Society Jubilee Tribute

The Queen unveiled the Windsor and Eton Society Diamond Jubilee Tribute at King Edward Court Shopping Centre in Windsor.
She's back to the regular public grind (yay) and she's wearing amethyst (YAY). She loves me, she really loves me.
P.S.: For those feeling deprived after the long Balmoral break and nearly no appearances by the Queen, note that not only is she back to public engagements, but two incoming state visits have been announced to take place before the end of the year:  the President of Indonesia arrives on October 31st, and the Emir of Kuwait arrives on November 27th. Never fear, kids, tiaras are on the horizon.
