The brooch is known as a flower that blooms in the heart. It is also a well-known secret of the Queen to wear meaningful brooches on specific occasions to make jewelry "a language".
Throughout the past few decades, there have been many weddings held by the British royal family. The Queen will also wear her beloved jewels and send her blessings to the newcomers, welcoming them to join the royal family and become a member of Windsor.
These weddings have also helped us to open the Queen's jewelry box. If we want to see how thick the British royal family is, we should start from the corner of this ice (breast) mountain (needle).
The Queen once wore a bow brooch at her wedding four times (only the wedding mentioned in this article). Bow has a very beautiful meaning in Chinese, symbolizing love, love and complex. "The heart is like a double screen with a Qian Qian knot in it", which literally means a tearful love story.
There is a similar moral in the west, because it is tied together with ribbons in form, but it expresses a playful side when used on brooches, and because the brooches are close to the heart when worn, they often have the meaning of "love" and "true love".
At her sister Princess Margaret's wedding, the Queen wore a bow brooch.
This brooch was bought by Queen Mary, the Queen's grandmother, from Garnard Jewelry in the1930s. It has a touching name-The True Lover's Knot. After Queen Mary's death, this brooch was directly left to her granddaughter, which is also the largest of all the bow brooches of the Queen.
20 1 1 year, at the wedding of Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton, the Queen also wore this big brooch, which was matched with a bright and light yellow suit dress, and sent a "true love blessing" to the couple.
The second bow brooch worn at the wedding was The Dorset Bow Brooch, which was given to Queen Mary in Dorset County in 1893. Made by jeweler Carrington, it is made of gold, silver and diamonds. Its shape is very smart and the materials look cheap.
When Queen Elizabeth got married, her grandmother Queen Mary gave her this brooch as a wedding gift. At the wedding of her only daughter, Princess Anne, the Queen wore this bow brooch. Although this marriage didn't last forever, the initial blessing was good ~ I can see that the queen is really happy when I marry my daughter.
Although the European royal family has been a family for generations, the queen rarely attends the weddings of foreign royal family members, with the exception of the weddings of Greek relatives.
Greece is Prince Philip's "maiden". At that time, Crown Prince Parovs of Greece also lived in Britain. The Queen gave her husband a face, and she also wore a bow brooch to attend this "family fun" wedding.
This time wearing a Kensington Bow Brooch, this brooch is made by jewelry company Collingwood &; Co. production, Kensington wedding gift foundation (what department is this? ) A wedding gift for (later) Queen Mary in 1893. The main body is made of gold, silver and diamonds, and a detachable Baroque pearl is hung on the bow.
Queen Mary, the daughter of Princess Adelaide of Cambridge, was born in Kensington Palace, so she took a special interest in this brooch and later left it directly to her granddaughter Queen Elizabeth.
Ps: Among the three bow brooches, my favorite brooch, apart from the idea, is detachable, which means there are many ways to wear it, and its shape is exquisite and smart, and it may even be worn as a hairpin ~
Besides sending blessings to the couple with bow brooches, the Queen also sent good wishes to her two daughters-in-law with pink diamond roses full of girls' hearts.
At the wedding of Prince Charles, the eldest son, and Prince Edward, the youngest son, the Queen wore the Williamson pink diamond rose brooch. This brooch was designed and made by Cartier, and the original pink diamond stone in the flower heart was a wedding gift from Canadian geologist Williamson. Later, Cartier designed it to look like a mountain rose, and used a round bright cut pink diamond as the rose heart.
At Prince Charles' wedding, the Queen wore a light blue dress and a double pearl necklace to match the pink diamond rose brooch.
Later, when Prince Edward married Sophie Jones, the queen was dressed in a light purple suit and attended with a pearl necklace and this brooch.
When Prince Charles got married for the second time, the brooch worn by the Queen was not so girlish and blessed. Instead, it conveyed the spirit of "service".
This brooch (The Australian Wattle Brooch) was a gift that the Queen received during her visit to Australia in February 1954. It was made by Australian jewelry company William Drummond, made of platinum, and set with diamonds and yellow diamonds. As we all know, Australia is one of the Commonwealth countries, and it is necessary to "bow to the queen", and its meaning is self-evident.
In addition to Camilla's wedding, the Queen also wore this brooch when visiting Sydney, attending church services and giving Christmas speeches.
In 20 18, at the wedding of Prince Harry and Miss Megan markel, the Queen wore a pearl diamond brooch. The pearls and diamonds were arranged compactly. This brooch was also from the Queen's grandmother Queen Mary, and its name was Richmond Diamond Pearl Brooch.
However, the brooch was not originally like this. The Queen wore an incomplete version with the pendant removed at Megan's wedding.
This brooch was given to Queen Mary by Richmond Town as a wedding gift. It originally looked like this. After Queen Mary's death, this brooch was left to Queen Elizabeth, who wore it when she toured the Commonwealth countries after she ascended the throne. Later, she began to press the bottom of the box until she turned it out again when she was old. Personally, she thought it would look better with a pendant.
Last year, the last niece of the Queen, Miss Kent Gabrila, got married. Although the Queen didn't like her cousin's daughter-in-law, she did her honour to attend her niece's wedding.
At this wedding, she wore a palm leaf brooch, which came from the Queen's mother, Queen Elizabeth, and was made by Cartier. The Queen Mother liked this brooch very much all her life, and she also wore this palm leaf brooch at her husband's funeral. Because of this, the Queen later wore this brooch when she received Trump, which was interpreted as meaning that he was not welcome.
Anyway, with colorful clothes, it looks ok ~
After talking about daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, daughter and sister, let's talk about the third generation of the Queen, which is also the three favorite treasures: the granddaughter Zara, the granddaughter Princess You Jinni and Beatrice Elizabeth Mary.
Beatrice got married during the epidemic this year. There was no carriage parade, no cheers from the people and no guests from all directions. The Queen's grandmother borrowed a dress and a crown, but she didn't pay special attention to her jewelry. She wore a rose brooch and went back to Windsor Castle to be decorated after the wedding ~
Zara, the only granddaughter, got married in Scotland. The Queen wore a diamond scallop brooch, which came from the Queen's mother and was a real "hard goods"!
Diamonds are densely arranged on the "shell", with a pearl in the middle and a diamond string connected below. It's as shallow as me, and I just think it's valuable at first sight ~
This brooch was made by Sir Courtauld-Thomson in 19 19. Later, Sir Courtauld-Thomson's sister (or sister) left it to Queen Elizabeth, who wore it during the centenary celebration.
Plus, the Queen Mother is also a Scottish aristocrat and a blessed person with a long life. This scallop brooch looks like "you are a treasure in my heart", and the treatment of granddaughters and granddaughters is still different ~
Of course ~ If we talk about "moat", girls' hearts, and saving face for baby granddaughters, it is still You Jinni's most grandmother's heart.
Princess You Jinni is the second daughter of the Queen's beloved son Prince Andrew. Originally, her wedding date was in May 20 18. Later, in order to make way for Harry Megan, the wedding date was adjusted to October. I am still a princess of the collateral prince's house, and naturally it is not as grand as Harry's wedding; Plus my parents are divorced, it is normal for my grandmother to want to be partial.
On that day, the Queen wore Cullinan V Heart brooch, and Cullinan V in the middle weighed 18.8 carats. Does it look like a heart-shaped diamond in both hands?
1960 When You Jinni's father Prince Andrew was baptized, the Queen also wore this brooch. From her son to her granddaughter, she was a treasure in her hand ~
12 weddings, 10 brooches, brooches can't speak originally, but because of the wearer's past, experience and story, the jewelry not only shines, but also has its own emotions and language.
The Queen's personal visit to the wedding was originally the best blessing for the couple, and the language of jewelry made the visit more story-telling. Then the last question is coming. Which brooch do you like best?
