The 11 Most Stunning Brooches in the Royal Vaults

The three brooches of differing sizes were created in 1858 from brilliant and rose cut diamonds, and worn as a suite - as seen on Queen Mary at her coronation. The Queen inherited them in the year she acceded to the throne, but she wears them separately. Their versatility lends them to a variety of events including the christening of Prince Charles, the funeral of the Duke of Windsor, state visits and Remembrance Sunday services.
