Important gold and silver trembling brooch, representing a large branch with three flowers, articulated in six elements, fully set with roses and diamonds, including four main diamonds. It can be used in the desired length, turn into several small pins, or fit into a bun element. In his casket of Alfred Hamel, at the Royal Palace. Mid-nineteenth century.
The brooch depicting on one of the photos looks like much as Princess Caroline's large diamond floral branch she lent to Princess Charlene to wear on her wedding day.
The brooch was auctioned in a 1988 sale (in one of the two catalogues seen on the photos under. I asked to the seller the exact day but He can't answer.
Princess Caroline wore the spray on her head in 1989 during the annual Red Cross Ball.
Could it be the same brooch... bought at the 1988 auction by the Princess herself or another person who gave it to her as a present ?
What do you think ?
