I thought with Queen Camilla bringing out new jewels one after the other; it would be nice to have a thread for royal jewels.

Still not over this brooch she brought out recently.

Queen Camilla wore a large heart shaped aquamarine and diamond brooch with a heart shaped pendant. It was announced by Robert Hardman during the service that the brooch was from Queen Elizabeth II’s collection but trondnorenisaksenhistorian has revealed its origins.

Trond, who has been given access to Queen Alexandra’s photographic jewel inventory for a two-part article for Majesty Magazine, has stated in a new post this brooch originally belonged to Queen Alexandra.

Thank you for starting this thread Robin. My great-great grandfather made some interesting jewelry for Queen Victoria. Some was made from her children’s teeth, which was a custom then. And some was made from the teeth of deer shot at Balmoral that she wore for more informal occasions. I’ve never been able to find pictures. I doubt Queen Camilla will be retrieving them from storage even if they still exist. :)

An interesting bit about spinels (yeah, I’d never heard of them either).


Found in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and some African countries, spinels come in a range of colors, from vivid blue, pink and red to dusky grey, green and purple. Until they were properly identified in the 18th century, red spinels were called rubies; the 170-carat Black Prince’s Ruby at the front of the Imperial State Crown, part of the British Crown Jewels, is in fact a spinel.

In the past year, Queen Camilla changed the royal jewellery rules in two significant ways:

  • Royal women are wearing tiaras and other pieces of royal jewellery that were once exclusively reserved for just one royal woman. Significantly, it’s not a one-way loan system — Queen Camilla is also wearing items previously loaned to other royal women. This more flexible lending system is standard for many European royal families, who reserve specific items to worn by a queen, while the rest of their collection is shared by all royal women. Sweden is famous for its version of tiara musical chairs.
  • Queen Camilla and her dressers are also exploring the farthest depths of the jewellery collection that King Charles III inherited from his mother and finding pieces that suit her style. Given how many older pieces have suddenly reappeared on Windsor women in the past year, she may also be allowing female relations to go treasure hunting.


November 22, 2023: At last November’s state banquet for the South Korean president at Buckingham Palace, Kate, Princess of Wales, wears a diamond tiara that hadn’t been seen in public for nine decades. The Strathmore tiara is a diamond garland of wild roses. It was a wedding gift in 1923 for the future Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother from her father, and hadn’t been seen since her husband became monarch in 1936.

No one was absolutely sure it was still in royal hands until a new image of that Strathmore tiara appeared in Geoffrey Munn’s authoritative book about tiaras in 2001 and it appeared at a 2002 Victoria and Albert Museum tiara exhibition. Even then, it took another 11 years before it was again worn by a royal woman...
