Unofficial flag (unidentified)

The flag of the Grenadines is a Canadian pale triband consisting of green, gold, and red bands charged with four black diamonds at the middle. Not official adopted. It is similar to the flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines only in a different range of colors. The range of colors is specific to Pan-African flags.Black diamonds are a reference to both the letter "G", which is the first letter of the Grewnadines Parish name, and its nickname as the "Gems of the Antilles" and "Jewels of the Caribbean". Accordingly, the flag itself has been given the moniker of "The Gems".
