The post elaborated: "The brooch was inspired by the notes sung in "God Save the Queen" (third slide). The brooch features a large pearl at the center of the stylised staff, and the round diamonds set to the right of the pearl are the exact notes of the first line of the National anthem - G, G, A, F#, G and A. Fitting for the Platinum Jubilee, the brooch is set in platinum."
