Royal Collection Shop Coronation Crystal Earrings Clearance

A Beautiful Pair Of Earrings Inspired By The Pair Worn By Queen Elizabeth Ii At Her Coronation In June 1953. With An Elegant Oval Drop Shining With Crystals Of The Highest Quality, This Exquisite Pair Of Earrings Are Set Into A Palladium Plated Metal.

The Coronation Earrings Were Created For Queen Victoria To Replace Her Grandmother Queen Charlotte’S Diamond Necklace And Earrings. In December 1857, They Were Deemed To Belong To The Hanoverian Crown Along With A Significant Part Of The Family Jewels. The Personal Union Between The Kingdom Of Hanover And The United Kingdom Of Great Britain Had Ended In 1837 With The Death Of William Iv. Queen Victoria Ascended To The Throne Of The United Kingdom But It Was Her Uncle The Duke Of Cumberland Who Became King Ernest Augustus. Hanover Still Operated Under Salic-Law And A Woman Could Not Ascend The Throne Unless There Were No Male Heirs To Inherit.

Garrard Was Ordered To Replace The Lost Jewels By Taking Stones From The Queen’S Collection. Both The Necklace And The Matching Pair Of Earrings Were Often Worn By Queen Victoria, Who Designated Them As Heirlooms Of The Crown To Ensure That The Jewels Could Not Be Lost In The Future. Queen Alexandra And Queen Mary Wore The Necklace At Their Coronations (1901 And 1911). Queen Elizabeth, Wore Both Necklace And Earrings For The 1937 Coronation, As Did Queen Elizabeth Ii For Her Coronation In 1953.
