No, the five emeralds came from the central motif of a bracelet, which could used as brooch, but the original jewel is a bracelet. It was bought by the duke on the 17th of december 1937. That bracelet was one of the most amazing pieces ever bought by the duke for the duchess as the gold band was entirely covered in black lacquer. The biggest emerald was 14, 63 carats.
