Queen Camilla gracefully adorns herself with an array of captivating brooches, with each piece becoming not merely an accessory, but a poignant reflection of her personal style, royal duties and the meaningful connections that she fosters on her engagements.
When her Majesty arrived to meet business owners and staff at a shop on Lisburn Road in South Belfast earlier today, she was wearing a dark green coat that she’d decorated with a diamond and turquoise shamrock brooch.
Fine jewellery experts at Steven Stone love nothing more than indulging in the intricate beauty of royal jewellery pieces – thus, they’ve revealed everything you need to know about Queen Camilla’s symbolic brooch.
“Queen Camilla gracefully adorns herself with an array of captivating brooches, with each piece becoming not merely an accessory, but a poignant reflection of her personal style, royal duties and the meaningful connections that she makes during her multitude of royal engagements.
Her Majesty’s latest piece is a diamond and turquoise brooch that she’s worn several times before – including to the funeral of the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire in 2014. The brooch is adorned with smooth Persian turquoises at the centre of each leaf, complimented by a larger diamond where the leaves meet and features a delicate diamond trefoil emerging from its stem.
Widely recognised as symbols of luck, prosperity, and faith, shamrocks hold special significance in Irish culture. It’s significant to see Queen Camilla wearing her shamrock brooch during her visit to Ireland today as it reflects not only her respect for Irish culture but also her commitment to fostering diplomatic ties and honouring tradition.
The petite piece is rumoured to be the diamond and turquoise brooch that was listed among Queen Elizabeth II’s wedding gifts in 1947. With this in mind, I’d estimate it to be worth around $20,000.”
