The dove brooch comes from Van Cleef & Arpels’s “Lucky Animals” range, which (as the name suggests) features numerous charming pins in the shape of various animals. Camilla has worn numerous Lucky Animals brooches. So far, her collection includes a hummingbird, a rabbit, a hedgehog, a squirrel, an owl, a dog, and now a dove. It’s certainly possible that she owns the entire range!

Here’s a closer look at the dove clip brooch, which is made of rose gold, mother-of-pearl, and onyx. The choice of a dove was a lovely symbolic touch for a visit to an organization that seeks to bring peace to people’s lives.

Camilla also brought another VC&A piece with her: her blue Vintage Alhambra bracelet from the firm. She stacked it with several other bracelets on her right wrist, including a gold bracelet with heart designs and an evil eye bracelet.
