Thank you for posting about this jewel Arthur. It definitely looks as if it was made to a very similar design to the stomacher given to Queen Mary.
This find reminds us that the designs of royal jewels in various periods are often not unique; rather, more often than not, they reflect contemporary designs. When we find jewels of similar designs, it often leads us to identifying the maker - which adds to our knowledge. Many thanks.
I apologise for not having acknowledged your find earlier. As I had no specific information, I was waiting to see if others did.
