Victorian Diamond Horseshoe Brooch

[Catmom]

I picked up this gorgeous diamond horseshoe brooch yesterday at my favorite shop on Sanibel Island. It's approx 2.0 cttw of OMCs and OECs. Some of my old cut experts say one of the stones may even be an old cushion cut which I guess is somehow different from an OMC. To my amazement I was able to locate where my brooch was sold at auction in England in 2010. I know it is mine because of the stone with the huge culet is in the same exact place and the other stone shapes are exact. Do you think the auction house would have any further information on this piece other than what they listed in the auction?

10 years is a long time but it can't hurt to ask. Regardless, how cool to find a bit of history behind your brooch!
