(Jewelry identification) To his majesty The King Edward platinum

[smileys]

Hi I recently won this piece at an auction. I was curious if anyone has any info on this piece or if there’s ever been anything like this sold before? Any info at all please.
Also if anyone might know the value please

It’s lovely, it’s value is a bit more than its components because it has its lovely fitted box and it’s Scottish.
I presume the pin is hallmarked, you might be able to date its manufacture from the date code (it’s a letter).
I don’t buy brooches so I don’t follow their prices but I would think $200 - $300.

Ahh I was hoping it had much more value. My assumption was that it was created for king Edward since it says to his majesty king Edward…

Edward Diamond Merchants was the name of the jeweler then on Buchanan Street in Glasgow. See, e.g., their case for this antique pin:

For Sale on 1stDibs - A fine and impressive 0.05 carat diamond, 15k yellow gold brooch; part of our diverse Victorian jewelry and estate jewelry collections. This fine and impressive

I think "To His Majesty" is shorthand for "By Appointment to His Majesty," That, plus the seal, would indicate IIRC royal approval of the merchandise purchased /commissioned from the jeweler.
