Hm. Well if you ask me these look like they belonged to a certain Victoria Regina.
Look at the crowned cypher and the orbs. I would have to think that if these did indeed belonged to Queen V they would have been photographed a bit better and attributed to her? What say you?

Any ideas on what the silver flowers are? A Thistle? Or what the pink flowers or the gold trefoils stand for?
Edit: athousandwinds said:
Thistles are a symbol of Scotland. The gold looks like shamrock to me — which would be Ireland. Could it be Victoria Regina, queen of England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and the Isles? Just an ideaI think that is a very plausible idea! Thank you for sharing!
