Prince Charles, in his televised Jubilee tribute, spoke of how he loved to see ‘my Mama’ in her wonderful diamonds. The royal collection is so extensive that a Crown Jeweller has to be on 24-hour call. It’s the history of royal jewellery that makes it so special for me. For her own wedding, the Queen was lent the King George III Fringe Tiara
which had first belonged to Queen Victoria. So it’s fitting that she in turn lent the Cartier Halo Tiara to the then Kate Middleton when she married Prince William.
History and sentiment are bound up in these jewels. George VI adored his daughter, which is why my next pick is the earrings from the King George VI Victorian Suite, which he gave her as a wedding present.
One of the most splendid of the Queen’s other sapphire pieces is Prince Albert’s Sapphire & Diamond Brooch.
You can see here that she wears it often.
At her mother’s funeral, the Queen wore one of Queen Victoria’s bow brooches, which had been worn at two coronations and passed to the Queen Mother.
What wonderfully romantic heirlooms such jewels are! Wouldn't be wonderful to have them all in your drawer? I'm sure I will have some difficulties in choosing which one to wear!
