This is great news, Vincent! It is always sad to see a royal/princely jewel collection being sold off at auction, so I rejoice to know that the brooch is back in the family.
I guess you can't tell us to whom exactly the brooch went, can you?
"Back in the family": do you suggest that it was acquired later than the auction in October 2008? Or did a member of the Orleans family buy it from Christie's at the auction?
