Re: Gloucester diamond and pearl brooch. The solution Archived Message Posted by Beth on August 25, 2018, 5:15 pm, in reply to "Re: Gloucester diamond and pearl brooch" Today, while reading the newspapers, I found this item which said that the brooch was presented to Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, with diamond drops. So the drops have to be interchangeable. The comment -- that the centre was detachable -- made me wonder if Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester, used the central element as the centre of a choker she wears occasionally. But then I saw this photo and realised that I was totally mistaken, as the central element in the choker has a small pearl. Has anyone ever spotted the centre of Princess Helena's brooch being worn separately?
