Last night, King Charles III and Camilla welcomed Olympians to Buckingham Palace and we couldn’t help but notice that the Queen Consort was wearing a dazzling diamond studded brooch.
The Royals – including Princess Anne and the Earl of Wessex – welcomed hundreds of medal winners, from boxers to athletes, who triumphed at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
Fine jewellery and diamond experts at Steven Stone have taken a close look at Camilla’s stunning brooch and revealed everything you need to know.
Featuring 2 carats of diamonds, Camilla’s diamond studded brooch is in the shape of a knot. For thousands of years, knots have been a symbol of love, commitment, unity, and unbreakable bonds
The piece oozes with sentiment as it was the first brooch that Camilla wore as Queen Consort, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The day after the late monarchs sad passing, the Royal couple made their debut as King and Queen Consort – arriving at Buckingham Palace to greet the hundreds who had gathered and to walk through the front gates for the first time in their new roles.
Camilla has previously worn the brooch to various foreign visits and church services – including the annual Christmas Day Service near the Sandringham estate in 2019
“Studded with small diamonds, Camilla’s delicate knot brooch is a particularly poignant piece as it was the first brooch she wore as Queen Consort, the day after the sad passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
The diamond studded gem bursts with symbolism as it’s fashioned into a knot – a shape that’s been associated with love, commitment, unity and unbreakable bonds for thousands of years.
Featuring 2 carats of diamonds, I’d estimate the brooch to be worth approximately $15,000.”
