The Albert Brooch is an oblong sapphire surrounded by twelve round-cut diamonds and set in gold. The maker of the Albert Brooch is a mystery, and the Royal Collection says that it might have been made in Germany, which was Albert’s native country. Queen Elizabeth would inherit the Brooch in the 1950s.

Worn By: Queen Maxima
Owned Since: 2001
Estimated Value: $40,000-$400,000*
Queen Maxima of the Netherlands’ engagement ring is very rare. It is made of an orange diamond between two diamond-encrusted bands. Queen Maxima’s ring is reported to be worth $40,000-$400,000. It is hard to nail down an exact price because of the rarity of orange diamonds.

Queen Maxima has owned the ring since March 30, 2001, the date of her engagement to the Prince of Orange. Orange diamonds, also known as “Pumpkin Diamonds,” are only found in two different places: South Africa or Australia’s Argyle Mine. The orange hue is caused by nitrogen in the carbon lattice structure of the diamond.

The Cartier engagement ring has gone on to inspire many other engagement rings, though none at such an expensive price.

Worn By: Sophie Rhys-Jones
Owned Since: 1999
Estimated Value: $1 million*
With so much focus put on Prince Charles and his sons, it’s easy to forget that Queen Elizabeth has another son. Sophie Rhys-Jones married Prince Edward back in 1999. Not only did Sophie marry into the Windsor family, but she also inherited an incredible tiara especially made for her special day.

There is little information out there about the tiara itself, but we do know that it most likely came from diamonds in the Queen’s personal collection. It’s $1-million-dollar value makes it an incredible honor and one that neither Kate Middleton nor Meghan Markle ever had the pleasure of receiving. Sophie doesn’t wear it on trips to Walmart so it’s seldom seen.

Worn By: Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
Owned Since:1942
Estimated Value: Unknown
The story of how this tiara came to the royal family is quite interesting: Lady Greville, who had been a long time friend of the royal family, bequeathed her entire jewel collection to the queen upon her passing. She quite openly acquired her wealth through the family brewing company.

There is a very similar tiara which is often confused with this piece which was also owned by Queen Mary. This one was made for Queen Adelaide in 1831 and later passed on to Queen Victoria. It has been worn by subsequent queens ever since and is in the vaults of Queen Elizabeth today.
