“Breaking with royal mourning tradition of wearing only diamonds and pearls, she made a very personal tribute to the Queen,” Rachel Garrahan,British Vogue’s jewelry and watch director,toldVogue. “The Hesse Diamond Jubilee Brooch was unseen for more than a century when Camilla started wearing it, and is believed to have been passed down from the Queen Mother, whose jewelry she wears regularly. It is one of Camilla’s oldest pieces and its royal story links to her past and the monarchy’s future.”
