Interestingly, a corsage brooch in starburst design, looking quite similar to the Warwick sun brooch, but with a sapphire centre (and a few more diamonds on the knife-edge lines) appeared at auction a few years ago. I do not suggest it is Queen Mary's Warwick brooch (not even a modified version of it), but it probably gives us a good idea of the brooch's aspect. Definitely worth of a Queen!

Thankyou both for your replies. I misread my info, so as the picture I supposed was right, and was hazzy, I was hoping for a clearer one. I will have to be more careful in future.

Pity. I think the Sun burst motif is a great one but it seems many pieces have been reset over the years. Another sun burst that never made it to the present day: the one on Queen Emma's House Diamond tiara by Van Kempen. Queen Emma Sun Burst Previous Message Thankyou both for your replies.
