Thank you so much for such a quick reply Barbara D.
Now that you have posted a photo, I realise that this brooch fits the description of a feuille brooch.
As I was trying to scan my memory for a brooch which might fit the description, I completely over looked this brooch. I confess that my memory is not always the best but, when people kindly post photos, it all makes sense.
Many thanks for taking the time to find a photo and post it.
