    : I think it is a totally different brooch as
    : the number of amethysts are the only similar
    : thing to Fields description.
    :
    : - in this brooch the amethysts acts as the
    : centre of flowers not buds.
    :
    : - in this brooch there are no pearls, the
    : brooch Field described contains pearls
    :
    : - this brooch contains diamonds, The brooch
    : Field describes doesn't mention diamonds.
    :
    : - this brooch is a floral spray, not a
    : bouquet (if you compare Field's use of the
    : description bouquet, she uses it connected
    : to brooches that are clusters of flowers,
    : like 'The Queen's Flower Basket Brooch'' not
    : long floral sprays)
    :
    : - also I don't see any ferns in this brooch,
    : just diamond set leaves (what's more, as
    : mentioned above, Field describes the ferns
    : as being of different coloured golds, here
    : these leaves are diamond set)
    :
    : Which I believe makes it pretty conclusive
    : that the brooch Field describes is a wholly
    : different one that we have just never
    : actually seen.

    : Happy to respond.
    :
    : Boffer there are 7 amethysts in this brooch
    : plus ferns and grasses. Why do you not think
    : it is the Queens Bridge Brooch?
