The brooch could also be an older piece and was considered too personal or connected with the family to change it.
Was there anything the EMF had or had access to in emeralds, rubies or any other coloured stones?
I knew about the sapphires an incredibly impressive parure.
Wave Parure of pearls and diamonds consisting of Tiara, Nevklace and brooch. It is possible that the brooch is earlier than most of the set as she is pictured in it when quite young. Perhaps the brooch inspired the suite. It is also possible that the Tiara and Nevklace are not connected to the Brooch.
