Queen Mary’s jewellery collection was unparalleled, offering pieces for every occasion and setting. The remarkable collection was passed down to her granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II, and is now in the hands of Queen Camilla, who often showcases its treasures.
One of Queen Camilla’s latest adornments is the diamond thistle brooch, which she debuted at a garden party at hers and King Charles’ official Scottish residence back in July.
The Queen has just worn it on a trip to Edinburgh, where she joined King Charles at the Scottish Parliament’s 25th anniversary celebration.
Leading diamond experts at UK retailer Steven Stone have revealed everything there is to know about the poignant piece of jewellery.
“Queen Mary’s jewellery collection is truly unmatched, showcasing exquisite pieces for every occasion and setting. This remarkable collection has been lovingly passed down to her granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II, and is now treasured by Queen Camilla, who frequently highlights its stunning treasures.
Recently, Queen Camilla wore the dazzling diamond thistle brooch in Edinburgh during the Scottish Parliament’s 25th anniversary celebrations. She first unveiled this elegant piece at a summer garden party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
The historic brooch is designed in the shape of a thistle, Scotland’s floral emblem. The elongated, stylized thistle is adorned with diamonds and accompanied by two graceful thistle leaves, beautifully honouring Scotland’s rich heritage.
For many years, the brooch has served as a tribute to Scotland. Queen Mary often adorned her coats and hats with it, while Queen Elizabeth II favoured it on her outerwear during her numerous events in Scotland.
Destined to remain a cherished family heirloom, I’d estimate the poignant piece to be worth £25,000.”
