There are many, many examples of different sweetheart brooches due to
them being made by individual jewellers all over this country - and abroad.
i.e. there is no standard style. It is also very unlikely - unless you get hold
of one of the famous makers such as Garrards, that the person/company
who made this, is actually still around....
Also, 'BLB9' doesn't actually make sense as a name, more of a style or
type or catalog number. It might be worthwhile posting a picture of just
these letters.
