The brooch, which is known as the "Centenary Rose" was the Queens gift to her mother on her 100th birthday. The rose depicted is called "Queen Elizabeth" The description I read was "A pink Queen Elizabeth rose painted on an ivory ceramic disc and framed by brilliant cut diamonds" - Hardly a "Dimestore Trinket"!
