The brooch has been modelled in the form of the crest of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (Princess Louise's).

This impressive sweetheart brooch incorporates a central initial 'L', interlaced and reversed, ornamented with ten pavé set Dutch cut diamonds; this initial represents the late Princess Louise.

The piece is further ornamented with the Argyll's crest of a boar's head to one side and the Sutherland's crest of a cat-a-mountain to the other.

These two animal crests are embellished with a total of twelve pavé set Dutch cut diamonds.

The boar's eye is represented with impressive 0.01ct round faceted cut ruby.

This central arrangement is surmounted with a Princess's coronet, ornamented with a further five Dutch cut diamonds.
