Because it is fairly common knowledge that Queen Alexandra had several PoW feather brooches with emerald drops. Suzy Menkes has a photograph of two in her book and in fact, the brooch Diana wore and the brooch Camilla wears have different shaped emerald drops, a different number of diamonds, and a different shank on the emerald. Skydragon did a very comprehensive post which compared both pieces, but I can't put my hands on it. Just do a search and you will see the two are different.
That being said, it is easy to confuse the PoW brooches with the emeralds--frankly, how many ways can you design a PoW feather brooch?
