The Queen’s jewelry collection is packed with brooches set with a rainbow of gemstones, and she has numerous examples of pieces set with rubies. Today, I’ve got a roundup of some of the Queen’s sparkling ruby brooches!

By the early 1960s, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom had already been on the throne for a decade. That’s a decade’s worth of experience in white-tie banquets, state visits, and overseas tours, all of which required the coordination of gowns, order sashes, and jewels. It’s not a coincidence that this is also the point when she began acquiring a few pieces of jewelry of her own, filling in holes in her collection. Today’s jewel, the Baring Ruby Necklace, was one of those additions.
