it started with a toy box trinket,
but after it was spotted in her jewellery box as her engagement ring was valued for insurance, the topaz brooch’s potential was realised, auctioneers believe the brooch is a magnificent example of early 19th century jewellery and was possibly part of a tiara or necklace worn by a Russian Czarina, the 27 clear stones surrounding the main stone were found to be diamonds. In the centre of the brooch is a near-flawless topaz weighing 20 carats, a reserve price of £3,000 was placed on the brooch, but the hammer fell at £32,000 good luck or what!
