Queen Victoria's Bow Brooch - Large

This set of bow brooches has been an enduringly popular design since the 1800s. In May 1858, the Crown Jeweller, Garrard, created a trio of bow brooches using 506 diamonds provided by Queen Victoria. The set consisted of two large brooches and one small brooch. Although there is no pictorial evidence to suggest that Queen Victoria wore them, the brooches were worn by Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary at their respective coronations. Queen Mary even wore one of the brooches with the pear-shaped Cullinan III suspended from the bottom during her coronation in 1912. The brooch set was also frequently worn by Queen Elizabeth II. This large bow brooch is silver plated and set with bohemian crystals.

This item of jewellery comes with a Gift box, romance story card and care instructions.
