Following on from your logic above regarding the brooches being emerald (which I concur), I started considering the options.
Regarding the brooch on the hat, I suggest perhaps the Delhi Carved Emerald Brooch. My reasoning includes:
- Both the brooch on the hat, and the Delhi Carved emerald have a six sided emerald in the middle.
- The Delhi Carved brooch has four terminating diamonds around the cardinal points e.g. top, bottom, left and right sides when looking straight onto it. In the photos contained within your post, it appears at times that the hat on the brooch also have these four cardinal points (although it’s not clear enough to say 100%)
- The slightly larger size (than that the lapel) aligns with the larger size of the Delhi Carved.
I’d be interested in everyone’s thoughts regarding this possible suggestion.
As to the brooch on the lapel, it reminds me of the central stone within the Scroll Cambridge Emerald Brooch. Indeed, the brooch on the lapel appears to be a sugarloaf emerald, matching the scroll brooch as well. However, were this to be the case, then the entire ‘scroll’ parameter of the brooch would have to have been removed- which I find unlikely....
Very interesting mystery though,
