7. Queen Alexandra’s Marriage Chain
Donn by: The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton
Been in possession since 1863
Value Approximation: $1.6 million
When Prince Albert of Denmark got married to Princess Alexandra of Denmark in 1863, he gave it a lot of thought. The astonishing parure, which included this diamond necklace, a broach, and a pair of earrings, cost the future king £13,680. That amounts to an astounding $1.6 million in modern currency.

Elizabeth II’s mother, known as the Queen Mother, received the necklace. It was worn frequently and with pleasure by the Queen Mother until her death in 2002. After that, it was kept under lock and key until 2018, when the Duchess of Cambridge was seen donning it at a dinner. This wouldn’t be found at Tiffany’s.
When Kate wore it that particular evening, she looked stunning. She accessorized it with a stunning tiara and pearl drop earrings. Being a Duchess and the future king’s wife is not always simple, but presents like these really help.
