According to one expert, it also comes with rich history.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, Mark Warr, Director of David Christopher Jewellers, said: “This is a delightful piece of jewellery.
“Set within a horseshoe it encompasses four sapphires, three rubies, and the word Minoru spelt out in diamonds.
“It’s history is thought to date back to 1909; Minoru was one of King Edward VII’s most successful thoroughbred racehorses and this was likely designed to bring him luck.”
The Duchess previously wore it back in 2019 when she undertook a series of engagements in London including visits to the Malmesbury Residents Association and an Age UK Lunch Club.
According to the jewellery expert it could also come with a huge price tag.
He explained: “It’s hard to evaluate such an item, without the history I would suggest £13,000 – £16,000, however with it’s back story we would expect it to sell for significantly more were it ever to reach the open market.”
For the piece to camera, the Duchess pinned the brooch onto a navy sleeveless top with a chiffon cream blouse underneath.
The blouse featured large colours with buttons down the middle.
