A rare and unique brooch in the shape of a dragonfly is up for sale at a London jeweler. Commissioned by the fifth Countess of Rosse, the brooch has been worn at three different coronations.
The pear-shaped gems, which weigh around 25 carats, were part of the Rosse family emerald"parure" — a set of jewels intended to be worn together, noted SWNS.
At the time of the brooch’s creation, the Mayfair-based jeweler had also been given a"hugely important" commission from Queen Mary — creating a crown for her to wear at her coronation.Now known as Queen Mary’s Crown,"it will be worn by Queen consort Camilla at the upcoming coronation of King Charles III," the news service said.
The earrings from the brooch were later worn"with the full emerald set" by Lois Parsons' daughter-in-law, Anne Parsons, to the coronation of King George VI in 1937, noted SWNS. She also wore the full set to the wedding of her son Anthony Armstrong-Jones to the late Queen’s sister, Princess Margaret.
