Hello,
I am curious about a beautiful pearl and diamond brooch which has been worn by Princess Alexandra of Kent. It is made of a round pearl surrounded by diamond motifs, with five pearl pendant drops. Judging from the style, I would say it dates back to the first half of the 19th century.
Strangely, all the pictures I have of this brooch depict a young Princess Alexandra, i.e. in the late 1950s or in the 1960s. She does not seem to have worn this brooch since ages.
Does anyone know the origin and the whereabouts of this brooch? I do not remember of this brooch worn by Princess Marina of Kent or any other royal ladies.
