I agree it is the amethyst and emerald thistle brooch Archived Message

I agree with Bryce, Annie and Beth1 on that matter: I think the brooch worn on the black and white video and the amethyst and emerald thistle brooch are one and the same brooch. On the screencap made by PJ Kiser, we can notice, at the bottom of the brooch, the characteristic horizontal curved "band" (no better word comes to my mind, sorry) with its emerald central line looping around the base of the thistle. We can also notice, on the left, another vertical "band", with the dark extremity (corresponding to the emeralds), cascading over the horizontal "band". And of course, there is a darker spot at the top of the brooch on the video, corresponding to the carved amethyst. That makes too many similarities to be just a coincidence. Regarding the apparent difference of width between the two pictures, I think it is only because of the angle of the pictures.
