The unique sapphire brooch is surrounded by two rows of diamonds with a detachable pearl droplet hanging delicately below, which the Queen loved to wear during her lifetime.

This historic piece of jewelry was originally purchased by the Princess of Wales in 1866 as a wedding gift for her sister, Empress Maria Feodorovna, who purchased the brooch after the queen's death in 1928. When the Queen succeeded to the throne in 1952, the brooch passed to her.

Now after she left, it is in the hands of her daughter, Princess Anne. This was the first official visit of Princess Anne abroad after the Queen's death, and she wore this brooch as a sign of respect.
