Very strange, indeed. It is a large and beautiful brooch, it could/should be worn more often. In a close-up picture posted by Tamara in 2012, we can see that the pearl drop has pink overtones, while the round pearl at the top is very white: http://members2.boardhost.com/royal-jewels/msg/archive/1330438528.html This brooch comes from Grand-Duchess Louise of Baden, mother of Queen Viktoria of Sweden (Gustav V's wife). On Ursula's website, we can see a picture of Grand-Duchess Louise wearing this brooch at the centre of her corsage: http://www.royal-magazin.de/german/baden/baden-luise-devante-tiara.htm Apparently, Queen Louise (née Mountbatten, second wife of King Gustav VI Adolf) was also photographed with this brooch: --Previous Message-- : It its strange that we do not see this brosch : more often : : : : :
