I think that would be more properly known as a, "sweetheart brooch". Wow!

And with Mum's Day coming up tomorrow . . .Hmmmm. Nah, I'll stick with the lawnmower. She may find that brooch it a bit too flashy. Seriously, that is impressive.

That is quite often the sort of thing that was a gift from the officers of a regiment to the wife of their departing C.O.

The Toronto Scottish also have such a brooch which was given to the regiment by the family of a former CO who had it made for his wife. Here is the link: http://tsrpd.com/regiment/commanding...-s-brooch.html

I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
If only they had two, one for the wife and one for the girlfriend.
