    Oh thanks Beth. I did not think to look at Roberts.
    Oh well that is something else cleared up.

    : Oh yes, it is the Koh-i-noor in the QV
    : portrait. But I was referring to the
    : Fleming where I now believe the brooch is
    : the Koh-i-noor.
    : Edit: and not the cat's eye, as I used to
    : think.

    : Maridje - I used to think that might be the
    : cat's eye brooch but I now think it is the

    : lozenge shape.
