Focus on... Camilla's Jewels: The Pansy Brooches

As wife of the Heir to the Throne, the Duchess of Cornwall has access to most of the jewels in the royal vaults. Yet her own jewellery collection is no less impressive; there are many beautiful gems Camilla has inherited from her family and has regularly worn since her marriage to the Prince of Wales.
The Duchess of Cornwall's Pansy Brooches
One of those pieces is a pair of pansy brooches the Duchess has worn pretty regularly since her marriage. As with many pieces from her personal collection, there is no definite information on the provenance of this pair as well, however it is virtually certain to be a family heirloom.

Set in 14k yellow gold, colouration is realized in a palette of deep purple and vivid yellow enamel. The brooches have clear rhinestones all around the edge of each petal, with a single pearl nested in the centre, in a small spot of yellow.
