Lady Williams Winn’s father spent many years as England’s representative at the Royal Court in Denmark and she was described as being on intimate terms with the Danish Court.
The money raised was used to create three items of jewelry: this brooch, a pair of diamond and emerald earrings, and the smaller Prince of Wales Brooch  The jewels were made by Garrard and all set in Welsh gold from Merionethshire.
This brooch, called The Leek Jewel in press articles from the time, is described as, “there are 15 large brilliants in the sides and upper part of the oval; these represent the 15 tribes of Wales. The bottom represents a ribbon with green edges, formed of emeralds, on which is the motto, “I’n Tywysoges No,” i.e., “To our own Princess.” The letters of these words are formed of small diamonds. The leek itself, in the center, is of emerald. The drop, at the bottom, is also an emerald. This is a very elegant ornament, and can be worn either as a brooch or a locket.”
It was written that the present was graciously received by Queen Alexandra when it was presented at to her at Marlborough House and she expressed great admiration for its design.
