Diamond brooch, designed by The Earl Mountbatten of circular form, with a pierced undulating pattern pavé-set with single-cut diamonds, set to the centre with a brilliant-cut diamond.
This brooch designed by the Earl Mountbatten was a gift to his daughter Patricia to celebrate an important occasion. He has cleverly used a repeated wave motif, a reflection of his association with the sea.
Patricia Knatchbull, 2nd Countess Mountbatten, wore it on one of her last public occasions, the wedding of her granddaughter Lady Alexandra Knatchbull in 2016. It was offered at auction on 24th March 2021 at Sothebys.
