14 Outstanding Jewelry Of Queen Elizabeth

The Queen is dead; long live the King. Queen Elizabeth’s wealth is unimaginable. Some say the jewelry of Queen Elizabeth is worth around 4 billion pounds.

The jewelry of Queen Elizabeth consists of more than 300 pieces. What is the price of those? You can not give a price to something “inalienable.” That means they can not be sold or transferred to anyone.

The average reading time is 5 minutes.

8 September 2022 was the day of Queen Elizabeth’s death. She was 96 years old and reigned for 70 years.

The jewelry of Queen Elizabeth, according to Leslie Field, included 14 tiaras, 34 pairs of earrings, 98 brooches, 46 necklaces, 37 bracelets, 14 watches, and 15 rings. That is a lot of pieces, even for a Queen.

Most are heirlooms, given as gifts, and cannot be sold because they are part of The Crown.

Queen Elizabeth brooches

The most unique pieces of Queen Elizabeth’s jewelry collection are undoubtedly the Cullivan III, IV, and V brooches.

They come from the Cullivan diamond that was around 3000 carats.

Facts about Queen Elizabeth

  • She served 15 Prime ministers as Queen
  • She was the only person in the UK allowed to drive without a license. “As a British passport is issued in the name of Her Majesty, it is unnecessary for The Queen to possess one.” 
  • Queen Elizabeth first sent an email in 1976
  • In her lifetime, the Queen has sent over 50,000 Christmas cards.
  • She made her first radio broadcast during World War II
  • She never attended school or University, but Princess Elizabeth and her sister, Princess Margaret, were home-schooled.
  • In 1944, at 18, she insisted on joining the army.
  • Her husband, Prince Philip, nicknamed her “Cabbage.”
  • A tradition held 200 years ago was at 09:00 am every morning, the royal bagpiper would play for 15 minutes outside the Queen’s window.
  • She was an animal lover. She owned over 30 corgis.
  • She had a royal milliner from London and never wore Haute couture because she wanted to stand out from the ordinary people.

Final thoughts

King Charles is the new King of England now. His name will be King Charles III.

Will he be as successful as Queen Elizabeth? We do not know.

The good news is that neither the Queen nor the King does not play any political or executive role in the British government.

King Charles’s second wife, Camila, will be queen consort instead of princess consort.

Anyway. The Queen is dead, Long live the King
