--Previous Message-- : : This enamelled gold brooch was a gift from : Prince Albert to Queen Victoria. I like it a : lot. : : Royal Collection link : : Thank you Nellie for sharing these photos, it is quite exquisite really. Some of the enamel appears "worn". My curiosity -did Queen Victoria ever wear it one wonders. Can't recall it in any paintings/ photographs. Was it given to her by Prince Albert on the birth of their own Prince of Wales ? : : :
