    As this brooch has never been officially accounted for by the Royal Collection, it has not an "official" name.

    Personally, and as I have no information about this origin of this brooch, I plainly call it in my picture files "Floral Spray Brooch Nr. 3", in order to differenciate it from other brooches in the shape of floral sprays. I think it could be possible to call it "2012 Floral (Spray) Brooch", as it first appeared in that year - possibly a Diamond Jubilee gift?

    We can notice that the pink colour of the flowers and bud of the brooch does not come from pink diamonds, but from the metal base on which the (white) diamonds are studded. Could it be pink gold? (I am not specialist enough to tell)
