    Hi Andrew. I just found some time to take a closer look at your list. A few points I've picked up:

    Firstly the Irish Harp brooch - we now know from the Angela Kelly book that this is in fact stitched crystal detail on the dress and is not actually a brooch.

    One or two of you descriptions are a bit confusing and I'm not sure which items they refer to. For example, there are a couple you call Badge brooches so I'm not sure if you mean these are actually official insignia or just a style that you personally think of af badges. Maybe a word or two of detail about them would help?

    Then there's one you list as a "modern diamond brooch" but it is hard to tell which you mean by this - any further details of shape or style you can give us?

    I'm just matching up you list (including those that others have kindly added_with my own and I'll be back with details of some of the missing items...
