I have a newspaper cutting from that actual day and it describes the brooch as
"12 Tay pearls in a bouquet of ferns and grasses set off with amethyst stones."
So I agree, I see no sign of 12 pearls (that were local so would feature prominently) nor ferns and grasses.

: I actually believe that this is a totally
: different brooch to the one described in
: Fields. This one does not have any pearls,
: nor is it a bouquet, it is more of a floral
: spray, what's more, the brooch described by
: Fields doesn't contain diamonds, just
: different coloured golds.

: I believe this to be a completely different
: brooch, the origins of which are unknown, I

: Amethyst Spray Brooch'.
