Press description of the gift
Once again I disagree with the information in the Sotheby's catalogue when the jewel was sold at the auction held on 27-28 May 2015.
The brooch was lot 636 http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2015/duchess-roxburghe-l15317/lot.636.html and the auction notes imply that it belonged to the Duchess' mother, the Marchioness of Crewe, who obviously wore a somewhat similar jewel but with a different coloured enamel.
