#diamond and pearl leaf brooch.

The Princess of Wales wore Queen Elizabeth II’s Pearl Leaf Earrings for the first time for a ceremony at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.

The earrings match the Pearl & Diamond Leaf Brooch that the Princess of Wales has been wearing since 2017 usually at similar remembrance type events. The earrings are new to me but CoutureRoyals on Twitter found a picture of the late Queen wearing them.

It’s possible that they are two of the leaves from the brooch set as earrings. We’ll have to wait and see if they are ever worn at the same time.

While there isn't much information about the origins of these diamond and pearl leaf earrings, the The Court Jeweller speculates they're part of the same collection that includes Queen Elizabeth's Diamond and Pearl Leaf Brooch.

The diamond and pearl leaf earrings

On Remembrance Sunday, Kate debuted a pair of diamond and pearl leaf earrings that were previously seen on the Queen during a visit to Nigeria back in 2003. Some experts believe that the earrings may have been detachable pieces from the brooch featuring the same design.

Artair brings Crow a small gift. It isn't for any particular reason, but the crow has given him several things, including the brooch now pinned to his bag. He has the pearl as well, tucked safely at home amongst his collection of stones and other natural trinkets. Which is what gave him the idea.

So he approaches the Crow with a small box, one made of paper and folded into shape with origami, hardly the size of his palm. The material is a plain, and he's chosen this paper because it is made of natural materials and will degrade and provide for the woods even if discarded. He's too excited, and his good arm is already held out, already, so that the Crow can take it and undo the ribbon tied around it, made with jute braided with a little geometric diamond pattern.

Once it is undone and the lid is lifted, inside is a spiral shell that seems to be made of stone. On one side, it is solid with a white and brown and coppery leaf-like pattern on the smooth surface. The other is hollowed in small chambers, smaller and smaller further down the spiral, each one glinting with opalized colors.

"It's...not special. Or magic." Artair shrugs. But.... it's an ammonite. A fossil? Which is like.... a creature that lived a long time ago and it's pretty and shiny, so I thought you might like it. It's cut in half so you can see the septa-- those chambers on this side-- pretty clear. Those patterns on the other side are called sutures. It looks like leaves because of the type of ammonite. They're related to octopi and squids as creatures-- if you know about those I guess hahah....."

Artair rubs at his neck. "A-anyways. It's not magic or anything. But...it's from my collection? I collect rocks and stones and stuff like this. And I thought you might like it too. And..... I thought it'd be nice, to give you something. Something from my collection. So it's like.... a part of something special to me is with you? I hope you like it, but it's really okay if you don't."

The Crow is rather surprised to be receiving another gift. He's done nothing to deserve it, and he could never begin to repay the kindness of the previous gift... so then why? Why is Artair giving him anything at all? He has already done so much for the Crow...

The Crow hesitantly reaches out and takes the small package in his hands. He rolls it over a few times, glancing over at Artair for confirmation that he is allowed to open it, before carefully pulling onto the ribbon to open it up. Artair is wrong, it is special. It is to the Crow, anyway. He produces a soft clicking noise in appreciation as he holds the object, his gaze focused solely on the shiny spiral as Artair explains. It's a fossil, an ammonite. A creature that lived long ago and that has now become...well, this. It's pretty and quite interesting, and the Crow is positively thrilled to have received something like this.

"Squids...and Octopi." He repeats softly, still staring at the ammonite. "They have tentacles, yes? Live in the...sea? A big lake...but salty?" He finally manages to move his eyes back to Artair, and he seems to look his way to make sure that what he's saying is accurate. He isn't really sure how he knows these things, he's never been anywhere near the sea, but the information freely flows into his mind. "There was a group of people that traveled through the forest once. They had fish with them. And squid. They gave me some. It was odd. Difficult to eat. Hard to chew."

He tilts his head as he looks at Artair, furrowing his brows a little. "Why would I not like it? It means something to you and you gave it to me." He considers that reason enough to like it. "I do not just like it, I love it. Very much." He wraps his arms around Artair. Then, in a barely audible whisper:

"And you too."

The Princess of Wales is wearing earrings from a same demi-Parure to Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond & Pearl Leaf brooch.

11 Meaningful Pieces In Catherine’s Jewellery Collection That Belonged To Queen Elizabeth II

By Emily Chan

6 December 2023

First worn by the Princess of Wales in June at the wedding of Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan and Princess Rajwa Al Saif in Amman, Jordan, the Greville chandelier earrings were seen on Queen Elizabeth II throughout her reign.

The dazzling diamond earrings made by Cartier were a wedding gift to Her late Majesty from her parents – the Queen Mother had inherited them from Dame Margaret Helen Greville, a British socialite, in 1918.

Catherine was most recently seen wearing the jewels at a Diplomatic Corps reception at Buckingham Palace.

On Remembrance Sunday this year, Catherine debuted a pair of diamond and pearl leaf earrings that were previously seen on the Queen during a visit to Nigeria back in 2003.

Some experts believe that the earrings may have been detachable pieces from the brooch featuring the same design.

Commissioned by King George VI, Queen Elizabeth II’s Festoon necklace features 105 loose diamonds that her father inherited when he ascended the throne.

Featuring three strands, the monarch wore the piece on numerous occasions throughout her life, from attending state banquets to posing for official portraits.

The Princess of Wales paid tribute to Her late Majesty by wearing the piece for the official Coronation photograph when King Charles III officially assumed the throne on 6 May.

The Princess of Wales wore Queen Elizabeth II’s three-strand pearl necklace – an item Her Majesty was famous for – during a Buckingham Palace lunch for the governors-general of the Commonwealth nations prior to the monarch’s funeral in September 2022.

The then Princess Elizabeth received this jaw-dropping diamond necklace by Cartier from the Nizam of Hyderabad as a wedding gift in 1947.

Featuring a rose motif, the royal picked the necklace herself, along with a matching floral tiara.

The Princess of Wales first wore the statement piece at a gala for the National Portrait Gallery in 2014, before rewearing it at a Buckingham Palace reception for the Diplomatic Corps in 2019.

Queen Elizabeth II was first photographed wearing these diamond and pearl earrings during her Silver Jubilee celebrations – marking 25 years on the throne – in 1977.

Catherine has sported the earrings a number of times in the past, including after Prince Louis’ birth in 2018 and while visiting Commonwealth troops ahead of the Queen’s funeral.

Queen Elizabeth II commissioned royal jeweller Garrard to create this four-strand pearl and diamond choker, using pearls sourced from Japan in the early 1980s.

Princess Diana was loaned the piece for a state banquet in honour of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands in 1982, while the current Princess of Wales has worn the necklace on several occasions, including for Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s 70th wedding anniversary in 2017 and Her Majesty’s funeral in 2022.

The Princess of Wales debuted Queen Elizabeth II’s emerald and diamond earrings during an evening reception in Jamaica in 2022, along with a matching bracelet.

Both pieces are from Her late Majesty’s emerald tassel suite, which the monarch first wore at a state dinner held for Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates at London’s Claridge’s Hotel in 1989.

First worn by Queen Elizabeth II during the 1990s, the Princess of Wales has borrowed Her late Majesty’s diamond and pearl leaf brooch a number of times over the years, including on a visit commemorating the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium in 2017.

Catherine wore the piece in tribute to the monarch while attending her funeral procession at Westminster Hall in September 2022.

The sapphire and diamond earrings

The Princess of Wales borrowed Queen Elizabeth’s sapphire and diamond earrings for a visit to Edinburgh in 2021.

The sapphire earrings are part of a suite of sapphire and diamond jewellery by Asprey, which Her late Majesty added to her collection during the late 1970s.

The Bahrain pearl drop earrings

Featuring two pearls gifted to Her late Majesty by the Hakim of Bahrain as a wedding present, these diamond and pearl drop earrings were also worn by Princess Diana in the 1980s.

The Princess of Wales was first spotted wearing the earrings at a Remembrance Day service in 2016, before going on to wear them for Trooping the Colour in 2019 and Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022.

Sakura was sitting in the parlor alone, staring at the jewels spread out before him. It was the most difficult decision of his life thus far. Everything he felt rode on this. Not because anything of substance hung in the balance, but his heart was doing flips and his stomach was in knots.

One was a beautiful brooch, a dandelion of diamonds and gold with the golden pearl nestled along the stem. When he saw it, he thought of Dante, of how they may not see each other often...with the need to make sure his own country is taken care of, but just as dandelion puffs drift in the wind, the red string that ties them together will stretch as long as it needs.

And then the second he pulled was a pair of earrings, a diamond leaf holding onto the golden pearls, and he thought of Bael, of how wonderful they would look dangling from his ears. He thought of the woodwork he'd done and how nimble and agile he was...

He thought of them both and his heart seemed to swell in his chest. And ache as well. He was nervous, despite everything that Ashi had told him... And yet if not for the serval, he would never have gotten this far, still stuck between brothers who both tangled him up in red string.

But he had made his decision now, and with what he was doing surely rumor was spreading in the castle that the princess had finally chosen a prince... he could only imagine everyone's faces when there were two pearls given.

Enamel and diamond maple leaf brooch

In 1901, King George and Queen Mary embarked on a lengthy tour of Canada and while in Montreal she was presented with this beautiful enamel and diamond maple leaf brooch.

A book published to commemorate the tour records, “Shortly atter dinner on Wednesday, a simple ceremony took place at Lord Strathcona’s residence, being the presentation to Their Royal Highnesses of mementos of their visit to Montreal by the members of the Citizen’s Reception Committee. That to the Duchess which was presented by Lady Strathcona and Mrs. Drummond, consisted of a spray of maple leaves wrought in gold and enamel and set with diamonds and pearls.

A newspaper of the time reported, “The jewel consists of a spray of six maple leaves mounted with diamonds. No two of the maple leaves are alike in form and colour. They are of solid eighteen-carat gold, beautifully enameled in delightfully delicate tones.”

Queen Elizabeth II inherited the brooch from Queen Mary but only wore it publicly twice, both during a visit to Canada in 2010. It has presumably since been inherited by King Charles III.
