Thank you Tamara! Totally agree, I eagerly wait the day (soon I hope) when we'll see again some of the fabulous jewels kept in the Dutch royal vauls for decades .
As to the brooch, it's really amazing in size and in shape. And the colour of that saphire is absolutely beautiful. Saphires are my favourite gems and this one is just beautiful!
