If there’s one thing the Royal Family know a thing or two about, its elaborate, standout jewellery, and as a nation there’s nothing we love more than scouting out what historical pieces they’ll showcase next. From diamond-encrusted tiaras to decadent necklaces, statement earrings and the most gorgeous gemstone rings, the royals love to accessorise and as avid jewellery lovers ourselves – we love to talk about it! Worn on the likes of our beloved Queen Elizabeth to Kate Middleton, Princess Beatrice and more, here’s just a few of our favourite pieces of royal jewellery and why we love them.



Queen Elizabeth II wearing Queen Mary’s Fringe Tiara

Queen Elizabeth Wearing Queen Mary’s Fringe Tiara

We couldn’t write about our favourite pieces of royal jewellery without paying tribute to the iconic and most-treasured piece of headwear, Queen Mary’s Fringe Tiara. Worn by her late Queen Elizabeth II in 1947 as her ‘something borrowed’ for her very own wedding from her grandmother, this dazzling diamond tiara was created by E. Wolff and Co. for Garrard. Something that makes this beautiful piece even more special within the royal family is that the Queen Elizabeth II then loaned the Fringe Tiara again to her daughter Princess Anne in 1973, and more recently in 2020 it was also worn by Princess Beatrice too. The diamonds in this piece were originally part of a fringe necklace of Queen Mary’s that she wore in her hair, then changed to create the statement fringe tiara which was also able to be detached and worn as a necklace too. Queen Mary was often known to customise her existing pieces of jewellery to create items more suitable to her taste and style at the time. The tiara features a whopping 47 diamond elongated bars and is said estimated to be worth in the region of around 5 million pounds.

Diana’s Sapphire Pearl Choker

Coming in 2nd place and known best for accompanying the famous ‘revenge dress’ is Princess Diana’s Sapphire Pearl Choker. Originally gifted to her by the Queen Mother as a wedding present, this renowned necklace actually started off as a singular sapphire brooch. She loved it that much that she decided to get it remade into a piece that celebrated her own style, and had it mounted onto a gorgeous seven strand pearl choker necklace. She was first spotted wearing the brooch on its own at a banquet at Downing Street in 1982, and then first seen wearing it in all its glory as a choker at President Ronald Reagan’s ball in 1985. Experts say the sapphire adorned on the custom-made choker could range anywhere from 50 to 70 carats, and ranks pretty high up the list in the most expensive pieces from the royal jewellery collection – impressive, eh? We can see why she chose this statement piece to accompany her jaw-dropping evening gown in 1994.

Princess Eugenie’s Emerald Bridal Jewels

Princess Eugenie Wedding Tiara

If like us you love the beauty and allure of a gorgeous green emerald, you’ll have loved Princess Eugenie’s wedding look in 2018. Wearing something borrowed from her grandmother Queen Elizabeth, Eugenie sported a double emerald duo of jewels that paired up with her Peter Pilotto wedding gown just perfectly.

The tiara loaned from the Queen is the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara and was made by French jeweler Boucheron in 1919. With an impressive 93.7 carat emerald taking centre stage, this unique tiara features six more emeralds dotted around the sides amongst a vast array of rose cut diamonds too. Not quite as bold but beautiful all the same, the matching emerald and diamond earrings she wore were said to be a pre-wedding gift from her husband Jack, which looked stunning against her simple and chic hair up-do. So why emeralds? Many lovers of the Royal Family said green complimented Eugenie’s striking green eyes perfectly, and we couldn’t agree more!

Queen Elizabeth II wearing Granny Chips Diamond Brooch

Queen Elizabeth II Wearing Granny Chips Brooch

Who is Granny Chips we hear you ask? A question we initially had too when looking at the peculiar brooch nickname. Although it might not necessarily be a name you’d associate with something of extreme high quality, this staggeringly exquisite diamond brooch comprises of a whopping 158 carats in diamonds and is estimated to be the most expensive brooch in the world. Granny Chips is said to be a very sweet tongue-in-cheek reference that Queen Elizabeth II gave to this brooch and gifted to her from her beloved grandmother. The late queen was seen wearing her Granny Chips brooch on various occasions throughout her reign, but one that marks down in history is the addition of it to her look for her monumental Diamond Jubilee celebrations. We like to think she wanted to keep a little piece of her grandmother close with her, as a reminder that our loved ones are always nearby in spirit.
