The who said what?

At any rate, "Or, three lozenges azure" is entirely valid, although it
doesn't quite match your description -- default for a group of three
charges is two up, one down, so what you want is
"Or, three lozenges azure one and two azure."  Note that normally
nothing is capitalized in mid-blazon except the word Or to clarify it's
not the conjunction (I'm sure I will be correct on this, but what the
heck.)

While I was at it, I tried my meager conflict-checking skills out.
Looks clear to me, but I'll be interested to see if my skills were
too meager. :)

Hope this helps.
