We’ve chatted about the regalia and jewels worn by the King and Queen at today’s coronation, as well as the jewels of the working royals. But, believe it or not, there was even more interesting jewelry in the Abbey on Saturday, including lots of pieces with fascinating historical provenance.

Here’s Anne wearing the brooch (with her diamond festoon tiara and necklace) at the Guildhall during the Spanish state visit in the summer of 2017. The brooch was a wedding gift to Anne from her brother, King Charles III, in November 1973.
Lady Sarah Chatto wore cream for the coronation, accessorized with diamonds and pearls. Her pearl necklace with the diamond clasp and her pearl and diamond earrings both come from her late mother, Princess Margaret.

Here’s Margaret wearing the earrings, which I think have a suspected Greville provenance, with the Lotus Flower Tiara and the Poltimore in its necklace setting at the Guildhall in 1959. Sarah’s had the earrings for years and even wore them for her own wedding back in 1994.
