Every woman deserves something that underlines her uniqueness. Queens are no different. British monarch Elizabeth II has taken a fancy to unique brooches. Her collection may inspire many lovers of beauty.
Wedding brooch of Queen Alexandra
Every bride wishes her wedding day to be adorned and to shine among all others. When it comes to royal weddings, the radiance is even more striking. Queen Alexandra received a unique wedding brooch in the shape of triple cluster. This jewel was part of her bottom drawer. She got it in 1863 from her then husband-to-be, King Edward VII. Elizabeth II received the brooch in 1953.
The brooch was made in the shop of the famous London jewellery manufacturer Garrard, whose tradition dates back to the 18th century. It was part of the parure that included a beautiful tiara, necklace, and earrings. It consists of diamonds and pearls, and is completed with a diamond pearl chain.
