Notes
By Repute, from the descendants of the Earl and Countess of Cork. 
The brooch replicates the sapphire and diamond brooch which Prince Albert gave to Queen Victoria on the eve of their wedding, which took place on the 10th February 1840. Queen Victoria's brooch could also be converted to fit into a bracelet mount.
