To coincide with Jubilee year, Livia Primo Lack looks at how you can recreate Her Royal Highnesses top five timeless pieces
Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II is Britain’s longest reigning monarch to date. Her extraordinary devotion, sense of service and patronage to Great Britain and the Commonwealth over the last 70 years has been one full of historic charitable and professional events that the public has followed closely through the pages of newspapers, magazines and televised programming.

A constant in each of these settings, from military services to family gatherings, has been her exquisite collection of jewellery pieces that she pairs effortlessly with her uniquely personal style. From brooches to pearl necklaces, here are ‘the top 5 timeless jewellery’ looks that HRH has gracefully donned over the years, and the best pieces to invest in to recreate them for ourselves at home.

- The Lover’s Knot Brooch
Inherited by Queen Elizabeth from Queen Mary in 1953, this diamond brooch acquired from Garrard in 1932 is a staple piece in HRH’s collection, consistently making an appearance throughout her reign. One can recreate this elegant look with a simple diamond bow brooch from a brand such as Van Cleef & Arpels.

- The Victorian Suite of Sapphire and Diamond Set
The stunning sapphire set composed of earrings, a pendant and a necklace was made in 1850 and gifted to Queen Elizabeth by her father, King George VI, for her wedding. Our particular favourites are the teardrop sapphire and diamond earrings. These Sapphire and diamond earrings (below) from Garrard are the perfect pair to do this look justice.

- Queen Mary’s ruby cluster earrings
In 1926, King George V gave these ruby and diamond earrings to his wife and jewellery connoisseur Queen Mary on the occasion of her 59th birthday. Inheriting them from her ancestors, Queen Elizabeth has worn these cluster earrings regularly since they were gifted to her. For similar ruby earrings with an updated modern twist, try these exquisite Suzanne Kalan studs (below).

- The Butterfly Brooch
This beautiful butterfly brooch was gifted to Queen Elizabeth on the occasion of her wedding to Prince Philip in 1947 by her dear friend the Countess of Onslow. The Queen was last seen wearing it during a virtual audience with ambassadors at COP26. For a more minimalist everyday look, these rose gold and ruby butterfly earrings by Pragnell (below) embody the elegant spirit of the butterflies.

- Three-strand pearl necklace
What is a jewellery box without a string of pearls? A collection is not complete without a string of pearls and this holds true for the Queen’s collection as well. Another gift from her father, this perfect pearl string set is by far one of the Queen’s most favoured and worn pieces. Keeping the three-strand pearl form, the Tasaki Comet necklace (below) honours this classic pearl necklace and gives it an added edge and sense of flair with a diamond star motif.
