Brooches Jewels :
The brooch originally belonged to Victoria, Duchess of Kent, who on her death in 1861 left her jewelery to her daughter, Queen Victoria. The Queen subsequently gave the brooch to her third daughter Helena as a present on her 24th birthday in 1870. The reverse of the brooch has a simple, yet very personal engraving: “Belonged to dear Grandmamma V. From Mama V.R. to Helena 25th May 1870.”
