The Chrysanthemum brooch was given as a gift to comic opera star Lillian Russell?

An inscription on the brooch "L.R. Dec 04" reveals that the brooch belonged to the internationally renowned singer and comic opera star, Lillian Russell (1861-1922), who was reported to have had a close romantic relationship with the bachelor millionaire Diamond Jim Brady, well known for his penchant in collecting jewels, especially diamonds. Diamond Jim Brady was known to have showered Lillian Russell with extravagant gifts of diamonds and gemstones, and perhaps the Chrysanthemum brooch might have been one such gift, symbolizing happiness and amiability. However, Tiffany's website reveals that the brooch was presented to the comic opera star Lillian Russell in 1904, but does not specify the donor.

The text of this web article may also imply that the brooch was a gift by the company Tiffany & Co. To the renowned singer and star. The month December 04, undoubtedly refers to the month and year the brooch was designed and presented to the famed star.
