Hi Torkel I did the research on this brooch for Ursula. The brooch was the joint present of Princess Alice's four surviving children. Laura --Previous Message-- : The article says the following on one of the : brooches pictures: : : The Hesse diamond brooch has made a series : of outings, but only on foreign tours. The : exquisite diamond and sapphire brooch has a : rich history, having been given to Queen : Victoria by her grandchildren from Hesse in : Germany for her Diamond Jubilee. : When it was made, it was described as a : ‘brooch with an open pendant heart of : diamonds bearing in the centre the number 60 : in Slavonic characters’. : : I remember we have discussed this brooch, : but I cannot recall it was established to : have a connection to Queen Victoria and her : Hesse family. Would anyone know a reliable : source for this? Are there any pictures of : previous royal ladies wearing this brooch? :
