Thank you, Bryce, for finding and sharing with us this information. I agree with Beth, it is great to know all the details about the people involved in the design and making of the jewel.
I especially loved this small detail: "After considering making the rope in yellow gold initially with the rest of the brooch made in white metal, we got feedback on the design sketch from the other officers: one of the female officers felt it would work best all in white metal and so we went ahead with Sterling silver"... even in the military, the feminine touch is needed for such details!
