    Yes indeed it is on display. The pink stone in the centre is undeniably and definitely pink. It reminds me always of the colour of a sweat pea flower. You can't miss the colour, it's not one of those "well, if the experts say it's pink... it must be but I can't see it"
    It is in my top favourites of the brooches (I bought a Royal Collection copy of it a few weeks ago) and I wish it was worn more often as it is so lovely.

    This photo colour is pretty darned accurate:
