Jewel of the day : Queen Camilla hosts the Maiden yachting crew at Clarence House.
Queen Camilla was wearing a Britannia brooch.
Britannia is the national personification of Britain as a helmeted female warrior holding a trident and shield.
Mounted in 18ct white gold, the brooch features a diamond encrusted Britannia figurine, alongside a ruby and sapphire Union Jack flag. It appears to be a replica of the cap badge worn by the Royal Norfolk Regiment, of which she’s Colonel in Chief.
What appears to be the same brooch recently sold online for £4,400.

Personal Jewels 7/?
To celebrate their first official Christmas together in 2011, Prince William gifted his new wife a pair of amethyst earrings.
When most people think of amethyst, the first colour that pops into their mind is purple – however, Kate’s earrings from her beloved husband feature a unique pair of green amethyst stones. Green amethyst is said to represent harmony, love and balance – making it a heartwarming choice of stone for the couple’s first official Christmas together.
The stunning pair of 5 carat oval cut amethysts are surrounded by diamonds, set in 18 carat gold. Designed by one of Kate’s favourite designers, Kiki McDonough, the earrings currently retail at £2,600.

OTD: 28th April 2011
OTD 13 years ago, a pre-wedding reception was held for the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. While the bride and groom didn’t attend, the event was attended by members of the British royal family as well as foreign royals.
The royals did bring out a few nice pieces of jewellery so let’s take a look at them.
Starting off with The Queen, she wore a matching gold and diamond earring and necklace set, reportedly given to her by King Hassan II of Morocco in the 1980s.
Camilla chose some of her favourite pearl pieces for the reception including her four strand pearl choker and a five strand pearl bracelet.
Sophie wore a borrowed earring and necklace set containing white and yellow diamonds from Collins and Sons. The necklace is a stunning necklace that works so well with this outfit.
Both the Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Alexandra opted for emeralds and pearls for the event. With the Duchess of Gloucester choosing to wear earrings and a necklace from the emerald and pearl set of jewels that belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Alice, while Princess Alexandra wore her pearl choker with the emerald and diamond clasp, as well as an emerald ring.
A final mention goes to Princess Michael of Kent who wore a pair of diamond topaz earrings and a large diamond and topaz brooch with a pearl pendant. The topaz in the brooch is a stunning colour and the brown of the gown under it really lets it stand out.

In the 1970’s and 1980’s Princess Anne used a number of glittering combs and pins to accent her hair style. Many of them are set with diamonds or pearls. Unfortunately there’s no information publicly known about them. Due to their style it’s easy to imagine they are antique pieces used in the early 20th century by Queen Alexandra or Queen Mary.
