In the run-up to Christmas, we’re going to be taking a look at some of the royal ladies’ Christmas themed jewels. Starting off with Queen Elizabeth’s Canadian Snowflake brooch.
The brooch was gifted to the late Queen by the Canadian Governor General in 2017 to mark 65 years on the throne.
The brooch contains diamonds and some stunning pale blue sapphires that give the snowflake design an icy look.

Dear Websleuths Members and Guests,
It is truly hard to fathom the gut wrenching pain people feel who don't know what happened to their missing loved ones. Especially this time of year. What's so frustrating is there are hundreds if not thousands of unidentified bodies/remains all over the country waiting to be tested but because of budget issues no testing is taking place. Their families are suffering waiting to find out what happened to their loved ones. You can help those families get the answers they deserve and, at the same time, make sure those obnoxious ads stay off of Websleuths.com. Become a monthly subscriber to DNA Solves.com. The amazing people at DNA Solves work night and day to identify the missing.

An interesting bit about spinels (yeah, I’d never heard of them either).


Found in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and some African countries, spinels come in a range of colors, from vivid blue, pink and red to dusky grey, green and purple. Until they were properly identified in the 18th century, red spinels were called rubies; the 170-carat Black Prince’s Ruby at the front of the Imperial State Crown, part of the British Crown Jewels, is in fact a spinel.

What fun thread! I’m glad I stumbled upon it. Thanks for starting it!
Spinels are beautiful gemstones, reasonably priced, and come in a lot of colors, though, as you said, most people have never heard of them.
I have a spinel in my small gemstone collection that befits my small budget. I have to restrain myself from adding more spinels because they are so pretty, just for the sake of wanting variety at this time. Eventually though I’m sure I’ll add some more.

It’s sorta a pinkish red. One of the more common colors I think.

What a beautiful nod to history and tradition! Queen Camilla wearing the Australian Wattle Brooch is such a thoughtful tribute to Queen Elizabeth II and her first royal tour. It’s lovely to see these iconic pieces continue to shine and carry such meaningful connections.

That’s a great observation! It would have been a lovely touch to showcase those jewels—maybe next time!

Good for Princess Catherine! A very appropriate choice. The pearl earrings were the Queen’s.

I loved the photos in the article of her interactions with the Holocaust survivors she had photographed in 2020.
