Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
After the celebration of the Queen’s 21st birthday, she returned home for a particularly exciting new part of her life: the official announcement her upcoming marriage to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten. And an engagement, of course, usually requires a ring!
Our bejeweled tribute to the life of the late Queen Elizabeth II continues this afternoon with a closer look at one of the most important days of her life: her 21st birthday, when she declared her life-long dedication to public service—and received some important diamond presents, too.
As we all reflect on the life and legacy of the late Queen Elizabeth II, we’re devoting the next several days to a bejeweled tribute here at The Court Jeweller. We’ll be looking at several significant days in the life of the late monarch, as well as the important pieces of jewelry associated with those occasions. We begin in the 1940s, with a brooch that defines the wartime world of her teenage years.
