Wow! That's a grand entrance, Bella! Welcome, and thank you very much!
I think you have found a very significative piece of information about the Queen's Double Swan Brooch. The brooch sold by Christie's in 2007 and the one worn by the Queen seem to match together:
Now, one solved mystery brings another mystery: how did this brooch sold by Christie's arrive in the Queen's possession? Has she bought it herself? Is it a gift? From whom? For which occasion? As the Christie's auction took place on 13 and 14 December 2007, we can exclude the brooch being a gift to the Quuen for her diamond wedding anniversary (which took place in November 2007).
