34. Princess Diana’s Four-String Pearl Choker

Worn By: Kate Middleton
Owned Since: 1982
Estimated Value: $325,000*
Queen Elizabeth II commissioned Garrard to make this incredible four-string choker after she visited Japan in the mid ‘70s. The Japanese government gifted Her Majesty with some incredibly fine pearls and she wanted them made into a necklace. The result was magnificent.

The Queen loaned it out to Princess Diana when she was married to Charles, but understandably took it back after their split. While the choker remains the property of the Queen, she has loaned it out to Kate Middleton who wore it for the Queen’s anniversary party back in 2017.

35. The York Tiara

Worn By: Sarah Ferguson
Owned Since: 1986
Estimated Value: $800,000*
Wedding gifts from Queen Elizabeth II are always special, but Sarah Ferguson got one of the best when she married Prince Andrew in 1986. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh had a diamond tiara specially made with a value of $800,000.

Amazingly, Sarah got to keep the tiara when she and Andrew got divorced. Many thought that Princess Eugenie would wear it on her wedding day, but she opted for something different from the Royal Collection instead. Still, at least Sarah has something of value if she falls on hard times!

36. The George IV State Diadem

Worn By: Queen Elizabeth II
Owned Since: 1821
Estimated Value: $600,000*
Some things just get better with age, including the George IV State Diadem. King George IV had the incredible headpiece specially made for his coronation back in 1821. The diadem has over 1,333 diamonds set into a base surrounded by two strings of pearls. As such, it’s incredibly heavy.

It passed down through the generations, ultimately winding up on the head of Queen Elizabeth II when she was crowned. Liz dusts it off for the annual State Opening of Parliament, so it gets some use – even if Her Majesty prefers not to wear it for the other 364 days of the year.

37. Grand Duchess Vladimir Tiara

Worn By: Queen Elizabeth II
Owned Since: 1921
Estimated Value: $470,000*
The Grand Duchess Vladimir Tiara didn’t start out as an English creation at all. In fact, it was previously owned by the Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna, who managed to sneak the diadem out of Russia in the midst of the revolution. The Duchess then sold the tiara to Queen Mary in 1921.

Russia’s loss was ultimately England’s gain, with Mary paying $36,000 for the honor. Adjusted for inflation, that makes it worth over $470,000 today – but that’s just a baseline. It’s rich history likely makes it a darn sight more valuable than that.

38. Mouawad Ruby and Diamond Necklace

Worn By: Kate Middleton
Owned Since: 2011
Estimated Value: $300,000*
We don’t know much about this stunning ruby and diamond necklace that appeared on Kate’s neck back in 2016, but it doesn’t take an expert to say it’s likely expensive. The Duchess reportedly received the necklace along with matching earrings and a bracelet for her wedding in 2011.

We don’t know who gave it, but judging by the sheer amount of diamonds and stunning rubies, it’s likely that the Mouawad suite is worth in excess of $300,000. It perfectly matches Kate’s elegance and charm while also being understated and not as gaudy as some other royal pieces.

39. Reflection Collection Diamond Cartier Bracelet

Worn By: Meghan Markle
Owned Since: 2018
Estimated Value: $155,000*
There are many sweet moments from Meghan and Harry’s wedding day that we could mention, but when they met at the altar and Harry took her hand, one thing was particularly eye-catching. Meghan’s wrist was adorned with a very fine diamond bracelet that we couldn’t help but notice.

The bracelet was from the Reflection collection at Cartier, just like the earrings Meg would later wear for their reception. Although it’s simplistic to look at, the diamond and white gold accessory was worth $155,000. That would pay for our first, second, third, and fourth weddings!

40. The Meander Tiara

Worn By: Princess Anne
Owned Since: 1947
Estimated Value: $2-4 million*
Not many of us are lucky enough to still know someone living that got married back in 1947, but the Queen and her husband exceed expectations. Back then, Elizabeth received the Meander Tiara as a gift from her mother-in-law, Princess Alice of Greece and Denmark.

When Princess Anne was old enough to receive it, the Queen gave it to her. Anne wore it to announce her engagement to Captain Mark Phillips, before loaning it out to her own daughter, Zara, when she got married in 2011. The Meander tiara is a family heirloom in every sense of the word, coming in at a value of between $2-$4 million.

41. The Cubitt-Shand Tiara

Worn By: Laura Lopes
Owned Since: Early 1900s
Estimated Value: $250,000*
The Cubitt-Shand Tiara isn’t a royal piece in the strictest sense of the word, but it does belong to Camilla, aka the Duchess of Cornwall. Camilla didn’t inherit this diadem from the Queen, but from her own grandmother, Sonia Keppel.

Sonia initially leant the tiara to Camilla for her first wedding in 1973, before it officially passed down to the Duchess. Camilla leant it to her daughter, Laura, for her wedding in 2006 to Harry Lopes. It’s a stunning diamond headpiece that certainly gives off the impression of royalty, even if its roots are more aristocratic than imperial.

42. Gold Signet Pinky Ring

Worn By: Prince Charles
Owned Since: 1975
Estimated Value: Priceless
Prince Charles was first spotted wearing his gold signet pinky ring back in the mid-70s. Since then, he’s rarely seen without it. No one knows where it comes from, but given that it’s part of Charles’ daily wardrobe, it’s virtually priceless.

Charles wore it when he got engaged to Diana, on his wedding day to Camilla, and virtually every day before and since. It may not be incredibly valuable, but it’s a symbol of his status as one of England’s most important people and next in line to the throne. Charles also wears his wedding ring on the same finger.

43. St. Edward’s Crown

Worn By: Queen Elizabeth II
Owned Since: 1661
Estimated Value: $39 million*
St. Edward’s Crown is possibly the most important item in the entire Royal Collection. First created back in 1649, the original crown was destroyed in the English Civil War, with this version created in 1661. Made of solid gold with 444 precious and semi-precious stones embedded throughout, it’s incredibly heavy and unjustifiably expensive.

The sheer historical value mixed with the pricey materials used to construct it make this piece worth over $39 million. Kings and queens have worn it for coronations for centuries, including Queen Elizabeth in the ‘50s. You simply don’t get better than this.

44. The Belgium Sapphire Tiara, Earrings and Necklace

Worn By: Queen Elizabeth II
Owned Since: 1947
Estimated Value: $1 million*
Queen Elizabeth II has been the proud owner of the Belgium Sapphire Tiara, Earrings, and Necklace suite since her wedding day in 1947. The Queen’s beloved late father gave her the necklace and earrings, so they hold a special sentimental significance.

Although the Queen became the proud owner of them in the 40s, the jewelry actually dates back to the Victorian era. The tiara was an added bonus that the Queen herself purchased back in 1963 from Princess Louise of Belgium, hence the name. One cannot have a set that isn’t complete.

45. Diamond Monogram Brooch

Worn By: Princess Margaret
Owned Since: 1951
Estimated Value: $200,000*
Lovers of Netflix’s The Crown will know that Princess Margaret was the more fashionable sister, free from the same constraints as Elizabeth and therefore, just a tad more likely to wear something just for the hell of it. This particular brooch was either gifted or commissioned back in 1951.

Featuring the initial “M” adorned with a crown, the small, yet beautiful piece sold for around $200,000 some time ago, surpassing the original estimate from Christie’s by $195,000. It’s a much more understated piece than some others we’ve seen, but therein lies the charm.

46. Tabbah Infinite Cascade Necklace

Worn By: Princess Charlene of Monaco
Owned Since: 2011
Estimated Value: $300,000-$500,000*
When Princess Charlene of Monaco got hitched in 2011 to Prince Albert II of Monaco, she wanted something spectacular to wear. The result was a necklace designed by Tabbah, but the Princess helped it come to fruition.

Made up of 1,237 differently shaped diamonds topped off with whtie pearls, the modern necklace is an unusual shape, but one that complimented Princess Charlene incredibly well. It’s not known exactly how much the piece is worth, but given its importance and its materials, we’re likely looking at between $300,000-$500,000.

47. The Imperial State Crown

Worn By: Queen Elizabeth II
Owned Since: 1937
Estimated Value: Part of the $5-billion-dollar Crown Jewels
The Imperial State Crown could easily get mistaken for St. Edward’s Crown, but the two are different. The current version of the crown was created in 1937 for the monarch to wear after the coronation and at other important events. It features the impressive Cullinan II diamond, St. Edward’s Sapphire, the Stuart Sapphire, and the Black Prince’s Ruby, as well as a smattering of other diamonds and gold.

It is near impossible to put a specific value on this crown alone, but it is part of The Crown Jewels. Collectively, The Crown Jewels are worth close to $5 billion. Needless to say, the Imperial State Crown is worth an unsightly amount of money.

48. Parmigiani Watch

Worn By: Prince Charles
Owned Since: 2015
Estimated Value: $12,500*
Prince Charles wouldn’t be caught dead in a tiara and you can think again if you suspect he’s partial to a diamond necklace or two. But, that doesn’t mean the Prince doesn’t enjoy the finer things in life – like his Parmigiani watch. The heir to the throne has been wearing the 18-carat time piece with pride since 2015.

Only a select few pieces from the Swiss watchmaker get released every year, meaning that only those quickest off the mark are able to snag one. Prince Charles allegedly bought his from the village of Klosters in Switzerland when he was vacationing nearby.

49. Princess Diana’s Butterfly Earrings

Worn By: Meghan Markle
Owned Since: Unknown
Estimated Value: $15,000*
Princess Diana’s butterfly stud earrings are possibly some of the cheapest in her entire collection at just $15,000. However, just because they aren’t as valuable doesn’t mean they aren’t noteworthy. The Duchess of Sussex wore the sweet studs a few times during the Royal Tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Tonga.

The gold set diamonds are tiny, but add just enough sparkle to elevate an outfit. Princess Diana likely wore them when she was still Lady Diana Spencer, before her jewelry collection expanded beyond all recognition. It’s difficult to imagine Princess Di in them post-marriage.

50. Aquamarine Pine Flower tiara

Worn By: Princess Anne
Owned Since: 1940s
Estimated Value: $1-2 million*
Cartier made this wonderful aquamarine pine flower tiara for Queen Elizabeth (aka the Queen Mother) back in the 1940s. Although it was a present from King George VI to his new wife, the Queen Mother didn’t much like it and ended up giving it to her granddaughter, Princess Anne for her 1973 wedding.

Princess Anne made her own changes to the piece, making it substantially shorter and rearranging the aquamarines slightly to better suit her taste. King George VI originally paid around $1000 for it, but these days it’s worth closer to $2 million.
