Meant to reign jewels that defined Queen Elizabeth II

With the new exhibition opened at Buckingham Palace - ‘Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style’ , we want to dedicate this video to how some of the Queen's jewels shaped her identity through her 70-year reign.

When we think of Queen Elizabeth II, we imagine dozens of crowns, diamonds, and one of the greatest royal jewelry collections in the world. But here’s something few people realize. Despite she had access to all crown jewels amassed during the reigns of previous queens, not all of these jewels were meant to be seen. Some were worn only once, twice, some quietly disappeared, and there was only one reason for this – Queen was carefully creating an image of monarchy, where only particular jewels could shine.
But today, we tell a different story - her first coronet, first serious jewel that told the story of a Crown Princess, a bride, a mother, and ultimately a Queen.

If there is one person who shaped Elizabeth’s jewelry collection more than anyone else, it was her grandmother, Queen Mary. Queen Mary was not just a collector. She was a curator of royal identity, presenting dozens of wedding gifts to Elizabeth – among them - The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. Watch till the end and let us know your impressions!!
