Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom has worn a series of brooches this week, including her ruby and diamond floral brooch (which she also repeated at an evening palace reception), her Flower Basket Brooch, and the Grima Ruby Brooch. (See close-ups of the ruby floral brooch and more views of the Grima Ruby over here!)

1. And it’s a collective vote for first place, too: the British royal ladies dressed up for the Colombian state banquet on Tuesday. Queen Elizabeth II wore her sapphires; Camilla wore the Greville Tiara with diamond earrings and a pearl necklace; the Duchess of Gloucester wore the Iveagh Tiara with pearls (and the honeysuckle tiara at the next evening’s Guildhall banquet); and Princess Alexandra wore a tiara, likely the Ogilvy.

The Duchess of Cambridge was in London this evening for the premiere of A Street Cat Named Bob. The event helped to support one of Kate’s charities, Action on Addiction. Here’s a look at the jewelry she chose for the premiere.

With her Self Portrait dress, Kate wore a pair of earrings she recently debuted: her faux-pearl, gold-plated Oscar de la Renta button earrings.

Because it’s early November, Kate also wore her crystal poppy brooch from Buckley London.

And, of course, she wore her usual rings as well.

I think this would have been a great opportunity for Kate to go a little bigger in the earring department. What do you think: do you like the styling here, or would you swap these out for another pair?
