The Most Expensive Jewels Owned By The British Royal Family

If there's one thing the British Royal Family has, it's money. You won't ever see Prince William or the Queen getting a job at Starbucks because they can't pay the month's bills. According to Forbes, the monarchy's net worth is somewhere around $88 billion in 2022.

Of course, not all of that wealth is cash. Some of it is in the rich variety of jewelry that members of the family own. From bracelets and brooches to tiaras and necklaces, many of these pieces are worth at least six figures, making them some of the most expensive jewelry in the world.

St. Edward's crown is made of solid gold with hundreds of gems embedded in it

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1661
• Estimated value: $39 million

What good is a monarch without a crown? As the head of state, Queen Elizabeth II has several of these in her collection, including St. Edward's crown. It was reportedly created in 1649, although it had to be remade following the English Civil War. The one currently in the Queen's possession was apparently crafted in 1661.

It's an impressive piece, supposedly boasting 444 semi-precious and precious stones. With the crown also made from solid gold, it's safe to say that it's quite a heavy artifact. That's probably why you rarely see the Queen actually wearing it. With all those jewels, it's also incredibly pricey too, with a reported worth of $39 million.

The Swan Lake set was some of the last jewelry that Princess Diana ever wore

• Worn by: Princess Diana
• Owned since: 1997
• Estimated value: $13 million

When Princess Diana married into the Royal Family, she had the opportunity to build up a remarkable collection of jewelry. That includes the Swan Lake set, which includes a pair of earrings and a necklace made of diamond and pearl. The name derives from the fact Diana wore the necklace to a performance of Swan Lake shortly before she passed.

Diana apparently commissioned the set in 1997 but only got to wear the necklace before that tragedy in France. Unlike some pieces of Royal Family jewelry, the Swan Lake set apparently wasn't passed down to other members of the family. Instead, it was auctioned, with the collection reportedly going for around $13 million in 2018.

The Prince Albert brooch was gifted to Queen Victoria before becoming an heirloom of the crown 

• Worn by: Queen Victoria; Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1840
• Estimated value $4 million

The Queen might own a lot of jewelry, but that doesn't mean she's always going around decked out in it from head to toe. Outside of special occasions, she'll typically only wear more subtle pieces, like one of her many brooches. She has quite a few to choose from, including the Prince Albert brooch once gifted to Queen Victoria.

Prince Albert commissioned the piece for his wife, which features a stone surrounded by diamonds. It's believed to be worth $4 million and is an heirloom of the crown, which is why Queen Elizabeth II is the only one who wears it. This piece of royal jewelry is one of the perks of being the head of state.

The Delhi Durbar tiara is one of the least understated tiaras in the Royal Family jewelry collection 

• Worn by: Queen Mary; the Queen Mother; Queen Elizabeth II; Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
• Owned since: 1911
• $2 million

Not all tiaras are made the same. While some are quite understated, others are designed to draw all eyes in the room to them. We'd say the $2 million Delhi Durbar tiara does the latter. It's been around since the time of Queen Mary, who reportedly had it made in 1911 as part of her coronation as Empress of India.

This is another piece of Royal Family jewelry that's passed several hands over the years. The Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, have all apparently worn it over the last century. Camilla rocked it in 2005 after her mother-in-law loaned it to her, a sign of goodwill following the controversy of Camilla's presence in the monarchy.

Queen Mary's diamond bandeau was the tiara of choice for Meghan Markle's wedding day 

• Worn by: Queen Mary, Meghan Markle
• Owned since: 1932
• Estimated value: $2.5 million

Every time someone in the Royal Family gets married, there seems to be a fevered discussion about what the bride will wear on the big day. That includes what jewelry she'll be allowed to showcase from the royal collection. When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tied the knot, the former was apparently loaned Queen Mary's diamond bandeau to wear.

With an estimated value of $2.5 million, the tiara really brought together Meghan's look on the day. It was apparently constructed back in the 1930s when Queen Mary wanted somewhere to house a diamond brooch. Since then, it's remained in the Royal Family's collection, where Meghan was able to temporarily claim it as her own for one day.

The Lotus Flower tiara has passed through the hands of several members of the Royal Family 

• Worn by: The Queen Mother; Princess Margaret; Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 1923
• Estimated value: $4 million

It's normal for pieces of jewelry in the Royal Family to get passed down from one person to the next. That's certainly what's happened with the Lotus Flower tiara, which has passed several hands over the years. The Queen Mother was reportedly the first owner of this $4 million jewelry after she was gifted it by her husband in 1923.

At the time, the tiara was apparently a necklace, but the Queen Mother had this wedding gift remodeled to be worn atop her head. Eventually, the tiara, which includes "a small smattering of diamonds," was passed to her daughter Princess Margaret before ending up in Kate Middleton's possession. She's since showcased the gorgeous piece at several royal events.

The Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara was Princess Eugenie's headpiece of choice for her wedding 

• Worn by: The Queen Mother, Princess Eugenie
• Owned since: 1919
• Estimated value: $5 million - $10 million

There have been quite a few royal weddings in recent years as the Queen's various grandchildren have begun forming families of their own. Several of them were in 2018, with Meghan and Harry's wedding in May, while Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's was in October. For this special occasion, the royal bride wore the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik tiara.

Featuring a 93.7 carat emerald amongst diamonds and platinum, this piece of royal jewelry was another tiara once owned by the Queen Mother. She was apparently given it by Dame Margaret Greville almost an entire century before Eugenie wore it for her wedding. Although the Queen now owns this piece of jewelry, she's reportedly never actually worn it.

The Queen Mary Fringe tiara was worn by several Royals on their wedding days 

• Worn by: Queen Victoria; Queen Elizabeth II; Princess Anne; Princess Beatrice
• Owned since: 1919
• Estimated value: $5 million

Another royal wedding, this time between Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. The two tied the knot more recently than her sister in July 2020, with Beatrice doing so in the Queen Mary Fringe tiara. This was another piece of royal jewelry that started life as a necklace before it was adjusted into a glamorous piece of headgear.

The tiara has exchanged hands several times since it was made for Queen Victoria in 1919. Both Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Anne wore it for their respective weddings, with Beatrice keeping up the tradition in 2020. Given that it's apparently valued at $5 million, we're not surprised that so many brides wanted it for their big day.

Queen Alexandra's wedding necklace was apparently a favorite of the Queen Mother before she passed away 

• Worn by: Queen Alexandra; The Queen Mother; Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 1863
• Estimated value: $1.6 million

When you're in the Royal Family, wedding gifts tend to be more expensive than what most of us would expect. For instance, when Prince Albert and Alexandra of Denmark got married in 1863, the groom reportedly spent £13,680 on a necklace, brooch, and some earrings for his bride. In the modern day, that's a whopping $1.6 million.

These pieces have stayed in the royal jewelry collection since, with Kate showcasing Queen Alexandra's wedding necklace at a 2018 banquet. Before her, the Queen Mother apparently used to wear the piece quite a lot. With it being one of her favorites, it was presumably quite special when Kate brought the necklace back out after so many years.

The Queen's Brazilian aquamarine parure set is one of the most colorful in her jewelry collection 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1953
• Estimated value: $1 million

When it comes to the Queen's favorite gems, she seems partial to diamonds and pearls more than anything else. However, that doesn't mean she steers clear of jewelry encrusted with other stones. For instance, she has a Brazilian Aquamarine Parure set in her royal jewelry collection, which includes a tiara, earrings, and a necklace. She's reportedly had these since 1953.

The pieces were apparently crafted in Rio de Janeiro by Mappin and Webb and were offered to the monarch by the country's president. It seems they were a gift for her coronation, one that she's allegedly treasured ever since. Given that the jewelry is supposedly worth $1 million, we can't blame her. We'd do exactly the same.

The Saudi Sapphire set was reportedly one of Diana's favorite gifts during her marriage 

• Worn by: Princess Diana
• Owned since: 1981
• Estimated value: $1 million

Princess Diana's marriage to Prince Charles is one of the few unions in the Royal Family not to last. However, although the marriage ended in divorce, Diana made great use of her time as Charles' wife. That included building up an incredibly impressive collection of jewelry, with her Saudi Sapphire set one of her most expensive.

The collection featured several pieces, most notably a Burmese sapphire necklace on a diamond chain that she was gifted by a Saudi prince. Diana didn't shy away from wearing this, probably because she was reportedly a big fan of sapphires. The royal jewelry fit her aesthetic perfectly and made her look a million bucks. Well, that was its estimated value.

The Cartier Halo Scroll tiara offered the perfect finishing touch to Kate Middleton's wedding ensemble 

• Worn by: The Queen Mother; Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 1936
• Estimated value: $1.6 million

There might have been a lot of royal weddings recently, but none of them have gained the attention that Prince William and Kate Middleton's did in 2011. Not since Charles and Diana had so many people tuned in to watch a royal wedding. Kate's outfit was one of the biggest talking points of the day, including the tiara she wore.

This was the Cartier Halo Scroll tiara, which was made for the Queen Mother in 1936. Kate was loaned the $1.6 million headpiece for her special day by her soon-to-be grandmother-in-law, and we're so grateful. All 149 of those baguette-cut diamonds really made the bride sparkle on that momentous day, completing a look that will forever be remembered.

The Meander tiara has become a family heirloom on Princess Anne's side of the family 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II; Princess Anne; Zara Tindall
• Owned since: 1947
• Estimated value: $2 million - $4 million

Some of the best and most expensive Royal Family jewelry have been wedding gifts received by brides over the years. One that Queen Elizabeth II received when she and Prince Philip tied the knot in 1947 was the Meander tiara. This was given to her by Princess Alice of Greece and Denmark, aka her new mother-in-law.

This tiara has since become a family heirloom for Princess Anne's side of the family, with the Queen eventually giving it to her only daughter. Princess Anne wore it when announcing her engagement, then loaned it to her daughter, Zara, when she tied the knot with Mike Tindall in 2011. It's allegedly worth between $2 million and $4 million.

The Queen Mother didn't like her Aquamarine Pine Flower tiara, so she gave it to her granddaughter 

• Worn by: Princess Anne
• Owned since: 1940s
• Estimated value: $2 million

The great thing about getting married in the Royal Family is that you seem to receive a lot of jewelry. However, just because something is a gift, that doesn't mean you're always going to like it. When the Queen Mother received the Aquamarine Pine Flower tiara from King George VI, she apparently wasn't a fan.

Rather than send it back, though, the woman simply held onto the tiara until she could pass it on to her granddaughter. Princess Anne received the accessory in 1973 when she tied the knot, and it seems she was more of a fan. Still, she did make some alterations, allegedly raising the value somewhere close to $2 million.

Princess Beatrice's engagement ring was a collaboration between her fiancé and Shaun Leane 

• Worn by: Princess Beatrice
• Owned since: 2019
• Estimated value: $100,000

Plenty of people seem to have more trouble deciding what engagement ring to buy than deciding whether or not to get engaged. Luckily, when you have plenty of money to spare, the decision becomes easier to make. Edoardo Mozzi ended up going for a piece by luxury designer Shaun Leane, with the two collaborating on the ring.

The end result was a 3.5-carat ring in an art deco design. The central diamond is apparently of "medium quality" and has tapered baguette diamonds on both sides. There are also two round-cut 0.75 diamonds that contribute to the alleged $100,000 price tag. It's cheaper than some of the Royal Family jewelry but still incredibly expensive.

Queen Mary's diamond bar bracelet was originally worn as a choker 

• Worn by: Queen Mary; The Queen Mother; Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 1900s
• Estimated value: $500,000

We've seen several pieces of Royal Family jewelry transition from a necklace into a tiara. Now, it seems we have a bracelet that was originally designed as a choker. When this piece of jewelry was first created for Queen Mary, the monarch wore it around her neck. However, as the piece has been passed down, it's apparently changed purposes.

It was most recently seen on Kate Middleton's wrist, although she wasn't the first member of the Royal Family to wear it as a bracelet. Apparently, this was another of the Queen Mother's favorite pieces, and she wore it on several occasions while she was alive. That included in the official portraits for her 75th birthday.

The Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara is a wedding gift the Queen was happy to receive 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1947
• Estimated value: $207,000

When you're a member of the Royal Family, it seems that you can never have too much of anything. That apparently includes tiaras, with another addition to the monarchy's collection being the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. This is an accessory that Queen Elizabeth II reportedly received from her grandmother Queen Mary for her wedding in 1947.

Believed to be worth somewhere around $207,000 when adjusted for inflation, it's a wedding gift that the Queen definitely hasn't left in the box and never touched again. She's worn the accessory on several occasions throughout her long reign, and it's easy to see why. It screams glamor and sophistication without being too over the top.

The Boucheron Honeycomb tiara is one of the more extravagant tiaras owned by the British Royal Family 

• Worn by: The Queen Mother; Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
• Owned since: 1942
• Estimated value: $3 million

You might not see Queen Elizabeth II wearing too many extravagant tiaras, but it seems the same can't be said for the Duchess of Cornwall. She's been pictured rocking quite a few over-the-top pieces of headgear from the Royal Family jewelry collection. The Boucheron Honeycomb tiara is another of them, which has reportedly been around since the 1940s.

It was apparently gifted to the Queen Mother in 1942, although it's been altered a little since then. Cartier allegedly put in some work to adjust the headpiece, which includes several large diamonds amongst a selection of smaller ones. Those adjustments resulted in the tiara reportedly being worth as much as $3 million, which is hardly chump change.

Prince Harry designed Meghan Markle's engagement ring with several things in mind 

• Worn by: Meghan Markle
• Owned since: 2017
• Estimated value: $145,000 - $350,000

As the party boy of the family, people could never be quite sure if Prince Harry would ever settle down. However, as he reached his 30s, he started to calm down and soon fell head over heels for Meghan Markle. The pair got engaged in 2017, with Harry proposing with an engagement ring that he designed himself.

The ring features a three-carat Botswana gem, which apparently represents the first place they went on vacation. It's accompanied by two stones that belonged to Princess Diana, which are just under a carat each. There's also a gold band embedded with diamonds, although this was added later when the ring was redesigned to give it a new look.

The four-row pearl choker is one of several pearl necklaces in the royal jewelry collection 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II; Princess Diana; Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 1970s
• Estimated value: $200,000

Something that seems to be loved by many in the Royal Family is a pearl set. It's perhaps no surprise that the women in the monarchy have a selection of these in their collection, including the four-row pearl choker. This is something that Queen Elizabeth II reportedly commissioned in the 1970s and has worn several times since.

She's not the only one who's rocked this specific piece of expensive royal jewelry. Diana and Kate Middleton have both showcased it before, with the former apparently a particular fan of pearl necklaces like this. Her daughter-in-law appears to be continuing that tradition, with Kate once wearing it in 2017 to the Queen's 70th wedding anniversary.

Queen Elizabeth II has let Camilla borrow her amethyst heart necklace before 

• Worn by: The Queen Mother; Queen Elizabeth II; Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
• Owned since: 1923
• Estimated value: $200,000

When it comes to who owns the most jewelry in the Royal Family, the queen wins easily. However, she's only one person, so she can't wear everything all the time. That's probably why she has no problem with sharing her things with the other women in the monarchy, like when she let Camilla wear her $200,000 amethyst heart necklace.

It's been in the Royal Family since 1923 when the Queen Mother received it on her wedding day. With a chain of diamonds and pearls that end in a purple diamond-set stone, it's quite a thing to behold. Apparently, Prince Charles is a fan of the necklace, which is probably why the Queen doesn't mind Camilla wearing it.

The eleven-strand pearl choker combined Princess Diana's love of pearls and chokers 

• Worn by: Princess Diana
• Owned since: Unknown
• Estimated value: $200,000

Pearl necklaces are apparently popular in the Royal Family, especially when it comes to Princess Diana. She was reportedly a fan of both pearls and chokers, so it's only natural that she'd have at least one piece of jewelry that combined the two. This was her $200,000 eleven-strand pearl choker that featured diamond and ruby spacers.

It's unclear when exactly this joined the Royal Family jewelry collection, but it's believed to still be around today. However, neither Kate nor Meghan has ever actually been seen wearing it, unlike other pieces that Diana once owned. That's probably because chokers aren't particularly common accessories these days, so it would be harder for them to pull off.

Princess Diana and Kate Middleton were both proposed to with the same ring 

• Worn by: Princess Diana; Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 1981
• Estimated value: $100,000

Millions around the world were incredibly excited when Prince Charles popped the question to Princess Diana. They were eager to see what ring he proposed with, and some were surprised when they learned he didn't use something from the royal jewelry collection. Instead, he got down on one knee with a blue sapphire and diamond ring supposedly worth $36,000.

Over time, the piece of jewelry has apparently increased in value to $100,000. It's also exchanged hands within the family, as the couple's son used it to pop the question when he and Kate got engaged. Having lost his mom over a decade earlier, it meant a lot to the prince to propose with such a precious heirloom.

The Strathmore Rose tiara was a wedding gift that only the Queen Mother has ever worn 

• Worn by: The Queen Mother
• Owned since: 1923
• Estimated value: $500,000

Like Meghan, Kate, and Diana, the Queen Mother wasn't always part of the Royal Family. She became a member of the monarchy when she married King George VI. Before he came along, she was Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, a woman eager to make a name for herself. Fortunately, that's what she did when she tied the knot in 1923.

Among the gifts she received for her wedding was the Strathmore Rose tiara, which she received from her parents. Featuring two frames that made it possible to wear the tiara in two ways, it was another piece beloved by the Queen Mother. No one else in the Royal Family has ever worn it, making it quite an exclusive accessory.

The Festoon tiara was a gift Princess Anne reportedly received for christening a ship 

• Worn by: Princess Anne; Autumn Phillips
• Owned since: 1973
• Estimated value: $500,000

Working members of the Royal Family keep busy with all sorts of duties. Princess Anne is often considered one of the busiest people in the monarchy as she attends so many events. In the past, they have reportedly included christening ships, with Anne apparently receiving the Festoon tiara for doing such a task back in 1973.

The Festoon tiara was seen most recently on the head of Autumn Phillips, who tied the knot with Princess Anne's son Peter in 2008. Unfortunately, the couple separated in 2019 and divorced two years later, but the memories of that day will never disappear. Those pictures of her in her wedding dress wearing the tiara will live on forever.

A maple leaf brooch in the royal jewelry collection makes sense, given Canada's inclusion in the commonwealth 

• Worn by: The Queen Mother; Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1929
• Estimated value: $75,000

Elizabeth II might be known as Queen of the United Kingdom, but it's not just the UK that she's the monarch of. She serves as Head of the Commonwealth, which includes countries like Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. For that reason, it probably makes sense that the Queen has a maple leaf brooch in her royal jewelry collection.

This piece was originally given to the Queen Mother in 1939, during a trip to Canada with her husband. It apparently stayed in her possession until she passed away in 2002, where it then became the Queen's. However, Elizabeth II reportedly wore the $75,000 brooch at least once before then, doing so during her own visit to Canada.

Her diamond and south sea pearl earrings were apparently some of Princess Diana's favorite royal jewelry 

• Worn by: Princess Diana; Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 1990
• Estimated value: $100,000

It wasn't just in necklaces that Princess Diana liked to wear her pearls. She also had one least one pair of pearl earrings that she loved, which were her diamond and south sea pearl earrings. She debuted these at Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko's coronation banquet in 1990 and wore them plenty of times before she passed away.

These earrings, believed to be valued at $100,000, were apparently worn at Diana's final official engagement before the tragedy. So, we appreciate that Kate has continued to keep their legacy alive by wearing them in recent years. Since inheriting them through her marriage to Prince William, she's worn them at highly-publicized events like the 2019 BAFTAs.

The Queen apparently has three identical three-strand pearl necklaces in her royal jewelry collection 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1930s
• Estimated value: $100,000

Pick a number, and the Royal Family probably has a pearl necklace with that many strands. That's certainly how it seems anyway, as another piece of Royal Family jewelry is Queen Elizabeth II's three-strand pearl necklace. Well, we suppose if the monarch loves pearls, it makes sense that there'd be plenty of these necklaces in the collection.

It was apparently tradition for the women in her family to wear pearls every day, so the Queen is simply maintaining tradition. Fun fact, this necklace is apparently one of three identical pieces in her collection. She received one from her father, then had it replicated because she loved it so much. The third was apparently a coronation gift.

Diana's double crescent bracelet apparently had a nod to a Roman goddess also named Diana 

• Worn by: Princess Diana
• Owned since: 1997
• Estimated value: $365,000

The Verdura double crescent bracelet has existed longer than it's been in the Royal Family jewelry collection. It was reportedly designed five years after Verdura Fine Jewelry was established in 1939. However, it wasn't until the late 1990s that anyone in the monarchy was pictured wearing it. This was Princess Diana, who had it on during an auction in NYC.

It's no wonder that she took to the jewelry, given that it has a connection to the Roman goddess Diana. The interlocking shapes of the bracelet are apparently a reference to the goddess' cipher, although we've no idea if the princess knew that. Presumably, though, Diana knew the bracelet contained 137 diamonds and was made with 18-carat gold and platinum.

The York tiara is a memento of Sarah Ferguson's time as a member of the Royal Family 

• Worn by: Sarah Ferguson
• Owned since: 1986
• Estimated value: $800,000

Divorce might be rare in the Royal Family, but it does happen. Excluding Peter and Autumn Phillips' recent separation and the explosive divorce of Charles and Diana, there's also the matter of Sarah Ferguson. She left the monarchy in disgrace around the same time as Diana after photos emerged of John Bryan kissing her feet while on vacation.

While she might not be a royal anymore, that doesn't undo anything that Sarah did while she was still married. That includes the York tiara that she wore to her wedding, which is apparently worth somewhere in the region of $800,000. Supposedly, Sarah still has it in her possession, having reportedly been allowed to keep it after the divorce.

The George IV state diadem is an heirloom that's been passed down for over two centuries 

• Worn by: King George IV; Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1821
• Estimated value: $600,000

One of the oldest pieces of expensive jewelry in the Royal Family collection is the George IV state diadem. This has reportedly been around since 1821, which is when King George IV had his coronation. The diadem was a suitable accessory for the occasion, given it apparently contains 1,333 diamonds atop several strings of pearls.

As the current monarch, the diadem is now part of the Queen's extensive collection of royal jewelry, and she does actually get some use out of it. It seems that she wears it every year for the State Opening of Parliament. Although that's only one day out of 365, that's more use than some of her jewelry gets.

The Grand Duchess Vladimir tiara was snuck out of Russia and purchased by the Royal Family 

• Worn by: Queen Mary; Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1921
• Estimated value: $470,000

The Grand Duchess Vladimir tiara has been a piece of royal jewelry for over a century now. However, its history doesn't actually start with the British Royal Family. Before they got their hands on it, it was originally owned by Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna of Russia. It only left the country following the revolution in 1917.

Apparently, Vladimirovna managed to sneak the tiara out, which she later sold to Queen Mary in 1921. The monarch reportedly coughed up $36,000 for the accessory, which is more like $470,000 in today's money. It may well be even more expensive now, given its close association with the Royal Family. Queen Elizabeth II is its current owner.

The Mouawad ruby and diamond necklace came as a set when Kate Middleton got married 

• Worn by: Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 2011
• Estimated value: $300,000

Anytime Kate Middleton - or any woman in the Royal Family, to be honest - attends an event, people want to know what she's wearing. That goes for both clothes and jewelry, with the latter typically more expensive than the former. That was certainly the case when Kate stepped out in her Mouawad ruby and diamond necklace in 2016.

If estimates are correct, this piece could be worth as much as $300,000. When you consider that it's made with diamonds and rubies, that's probably not too hard to believe. Unfortunately, it's unclear who gave this necklace to Kate. However, it apparently came with a matching bracelet and earrings when she tied the knot in 2011.

Meghan Markle wore new jewelry to her wedding that made her look even more expensive 

• Worn by: Meghan Markle
• Owned since: 2018
• Estimated value: $155,000

While a lot of this expensive Royal Family jewelry has been around for decades, some of it is only a few years old. For instance, when Meghan Markle married Prince Harry in 2018, she rocked some jewelry that had apparently been purchased that year. This included some pieces from Cartier's Reflection Collection, such as Meghan's diamond bracelet.

The diamond and white gold jewelry worked nicely with her wedding dress and only made the bride even more expensive on her big day. She was already apparently worth millions thanks to Queen Mary's diamond bandeau, and this bracelet reportedly added $155,000 to that figure. Only in the Royal Family would jewelry like that seem somewhat cheap.

The Tabbah Infinite Cascade necklace is one of the notable pieces owned by the Monaco Royal Family 

• Worn by: Princess Charlene of Monaco
• Owned since: 2011
• Estimated value: $300,000 - $500,000

As the biggest monarchy in the world, the British Royal Family understandably has the most impressive jewelry collection around. However, that doesn't mean other monarchies overseas don't have some exquisite and expensive pieces in their collection. For instance, Princess Charlene of Monaco has at least one necklace reportedly worth six figures, somewhere between $300,000 and $500,000.

This is her Infinite Cascade necklace that was designed by Tabbah for her 2011 wedding to Prince Albert II. The piece is very impressive, given it contains over 1,200 diamonds of varying shapes. Finished with pearls, the jewelry doesn't look like your typical necklace, and that just made it all the more special when she walked down the aisle.

The Crown amethyst suite of jewels is one of the more colorful sets of royal jewelry 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: Early 1800s
• Estimated value: $750,000

There's no denying that the Queen loves a pop of color. She's known for stepping out in all sorts of bright ensembles, and that's not simply restricted to her clothes. Some of the pieces in the royal jewelry collection are pretty colorful, and the Queen hasn't shied away from wearing them every now and again.

The Crown amethyst suite of jewels is an excellent example of this. It's quite an extensive set of jewelry, given it contains earrings, three brooches, and a necklace. It's been in the family for centuries, ever since Princess Charlotte of Wales passed in the early 1800s. The Queen supposedly favors the shell-shaped diamond brooch over everything else.

The Gloucester Honeysuckle tiara has ended up on the Gloucester side of the Royal Family 

• Worn by: Queen Mary; Princess Alice; Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester
• Owned since: 1913
• Estimated value: $600,000

It seems that we have Queen Mary to thank for a lot of the best jewelry in the Royal Family. Another piece that's been in the collection since her time is the Gloucester Honeysuckle tiara, which was apparently made by E. Wolff and Co. They apparently created it for Garrard before it eventually ended up on Mary's head.

The current owner of this tiara is Birgitte, the Duchess of Gloucester. She inherited it from her mother-in-law, the former Duchess of Gloucester, who was the longest-living member of the Royal Family when she passed away in 2004. The tiara is apparently worth some $600,000, although that probably differs depending on what gem is placed in the center.

The Spencer tiara Diana wore on her wedding day was a combination of several pieces of jewelry 

• Worn by: Princess Diana
• Owned since: 1870s / 1919
• Estimated value: $225,000

Every time there's a royal bride, they seem to wear something expensive on their head. So, it's perhaps no great surprise that when Princess Diana tied the knot with Prince Charles, she also wore a tiara. Hers was an 800-diamond headpiece that actually belonged to the Spencer family rather than the royals. They'd apparently owned it for decades.

The tiara was reportedly crafted out of another tiara that was made in the 1870s. Lady Cynthia Hamilton apparently combined it with a piece she received as a bridal gift in 1919 to create the gorgeous accessory that Diana wore on her special day. The headpiece allegedly added $225,000 to her already expensive look.

Prince Charles apparently proposed to Camilla with one of the Queen Mother's rings 

• Worn by: Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
• Owned since: 1980s
• Estimated value: $225,000 - $288,000

After Princess Diana's marriage fell apart, Camilla Parker Bowles became public enemy number one for some people. They blamed her for coming between Charles and Diana, something that it's taken years for many to forgive. That's probably why the prince wasn't quick to pop the question to Camilla with an engagement ring reportedly from the Queen mother's collection.

Featuring a five-carat emerald-cut diamond and surrounded by baguettes, it's a ring that the Queen Mother was seen wearing in the 1980s. She didn't use it as an engagement ring, but Charles evidently felt like it could serve that purpose for Camilla. Given the couple are still together and seem content, she presumably agreed with her husband.

Princess Diana bought an expensive aquamarine statement ring after her divorce from Charles 

• Worn by: Princess Diana; Meghan Markle
• Owned since: 1996
• Estimated value: $90,000

Princess Diana knew how to make a statement with jewelry. After all, that's what her engagement ring was all about. So, it's maybe no great surprise that after she and Prince Charles got divorced, she commissioned an aquamarine statement ring to show that she didn't need him. It was reportedly set in 24-carat yellow gold with a pale blue stone.

These features, along with the presence of smaller diamonds, apparently bring the value of the ring to somewhere around $90,000. That's according to one gemologist anyway. However, it would potentially sell for significantly more, given that it was owned and worn by Princess Diana - and later Meghan Markle. That's assuming Prince Harry would ever want to sell it.

The Lover's Knot brooch was several decades in the making and is now allegedly the Queen's favorite 

• Worn by: Queen Mary; Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1932
• Estimated value: $310,200

Putting together the Lover's Knot brooch reportedly took several decades. That's because Queen Mary received the stone that she included in it in 1910 when the South African government gifted it to her. However, she didn't actually have the brooch made by Garrard until the 1930s, when it then became another precious addition to the Royal Family jewelry collection.

When Queen Elizabeth was coronated in 1953, she became the new owner of the Lover's Knot brooch, and she's made sure to show her appreciation since. She's worn it plenty of times throughout her reign, with some publications even claiming that it's her favorite brooch. That's really saying something, given how many brooches are in the Queen's jewelry collection.

Queen Elizabeth II received a Belgium sapphire set for her wedding, although she had to buy the tiara herself 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1947
• Estimated value: $1 million

One wedding present that reportedly was well received was the Belgium sapphire set that King George VI gave to Queen Elizabeth II on her wedding day. This included a necklace and earrings, which had apparently been around since the Victorian era. The monarch has showcased these pieces of Royal Family jewelry several times over the years.

Originally, the set that the Queen received for her wedding didn't come with a tiara. However, she reportedly fixed that in 1963 when she purchased the matching headgear back from Princess Louise of Belgium. Now with a complete collection, she could rock the entire set - which is allegedly worth $1 million - without feeling like something was missing.

The five aquamarine tiara might have undergone a transformation after 1970 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II; Sophie, Countess of Wessex
• Owned since: 1968
• Estimated value: $1.5 million

Some pieces in the Royal Family jewelry collection are an open book. Others, though, are much more of a mystery. The five aquamarine tiara is apparently one of them. That's because the version that the Queen reportedly commissioned hasn't been seen for over 50 years. When it appeared on the head of Sophie, Countess of Wessex, it looked different.

If the two are one and the same, it means that the aquamarines in Sophie's tiara were originally gifted to the Queen by Brazil. It also means that the tiara has undergone a redesign, which isn't out of the question. After all, if jewelry can go from being a necklace to a tiara, anything is possible really.

Princess Margaret won the Poltimore tiara in an auction before her children later sold it 

• Worn by: Princess Margaret
• Owned since: 1959
• Estimated value: $1.3 million

It's thanks to Garrard that we have so many pieces to marvel at in the royal jewelry collection. They've created some real masterpieces, including the Poltimore tiara. It was apparently made for Florence Bampfylde but joined the Royal Family in 1959 after Princess Margaret won it in an auction. She reportedly paid £5,500, which would be $172,000 today.

While that already makes it expensive, the Poltimore tiara is actually worth a lot more now. That's because Princess Margaret's children reportedly sold it for $1.3 million, making it one of the most expensive pieces of royal jewelry in existence. While she was alive, Margaret wore the tiara on several occasions, including on her wedding day.

A necklace from King Khalid of Saudi Arabia has long been a treasured item of the Queen's 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II; Princess Diana
• Owned since: 1979
• Estimated value: $1.6 million

As monarch, the Queen gets to meet plenty of notable figures from around the world. That includes other monarchs, such as King Khalid, who reigned in Saudi Arabia between 1975 and 1982. Queen Elizabeth II visited him at least once while he was in power, doing so in 1979. That was when she received this necklace.

Crafted by Harry Winston with 20 pear-shaped diamonds, it's a piece that the Queen reportedly fell in love with when she received it. That's why she's worn it several times over the years, and she's not the only one. Apparently, Princess Diana was allowed to borrow it, which is what she did when she visited the Barbican while pregnant.

The Kent City of London Fringe tiara has become an heirloom for the Kent side of the family 

• Worn by: Princess Marina; Princess Michael of Kent; Gabriella Windsor
• Owned since: 1934
• Estimated value: $1 million

It seems you get gifts from all sorts of people when you marry into the Royal Family. When Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark tied the knot with the Duke of Kent in 1934, the bride apparently received the Kent City of London Fringe tiara. The generous gift was apparently given to the bride by the UK government.

It was a fitting gift, given how closely it resembled the Vladimir Fringe tiara that she got married in. The tiara has now become an heirloom on this side of the Royal Family, with Marina's granddaughter Gabriella Windsor most recently wearing it for her wedding in 2019. Her mother, Princess Michael of Kent, has also been photographed in the tiara.

The Crown ruby necklace and brooch used to contain opals before they were changed 

• Worn by: Queen Victoria; Queen Alexandra; The Queen Mother; Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1854
• Estimated value: $1 million

The Crown ruby necklace and Crown ruby brooch are two very intriguing additions to the Royal Family jewelry collection. They can be traced back to 1854, although they looked slightly different back then. That's because the rubies used to be opals. This reportedly changed after Queen Alexandra inherited the jewelry from her mother-in-law, Queen Victoria.

Although Victoria had bought the pieces from Garrard with opals in them, Alexandra apparently didn't much care for these stones. So, she had them changed to rubies, which is how they've remained ever since. The Queen Mother and Queen Elizabeth II have both worn the jewelry at least once. However, they're not something that are seen often.

Princess Marie Louise reportedly bought the Cartier Indian tiara after her annulment 

• Worn by: Princess Marie Louise; Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester
• Owned since: 1906-1921
• Estimated value: $1 million

The most expensive royal jewelry tends to be owned by the highest members of the Royal Family. However, that's not necessarily the case for every piece in the monarchy's collection. There is some pricey stuff that belongs to those much lower down in the line of succession, such as the Cartier Indian tiara that the Duchess of Gloucester owns.

This tiara is allegedly valued at $1 million, thanks to all the diamonds, pearls, and sapphires contained within it. Princess Marie Louise supposedly commissioned the tiara from Cartier sometime after her marriage was annulled. The accessory gradually made its way down through the new generations of Royals until it ended up in Birgitte's possession, where it remains to this day.

Queen Mary's Lover's Knot tiara is allegedly Kate Middleton's favorite royal headpiece 

• Worn by: Queen Mary; Queen Elizabeth II; Princess Diana; Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 1914
• Estimated value: $4 million

Everyone in the Royal Family who wears jewelry probably has their favorite pieces that they like to wear as often as possible. For Kate Middleton, Queen Mary's Lover's Knot tiara is apparently one of hers. Some publications claim that there's nothing she enjoys wearing on her head more than this. Unfortunately, you can't always wear a tiara to an event.

Kate inherited this from her late mother-in-law, who herself received it as a gift from her mother-in-law. Unfortunately, Diana apparently wasn't allowed to keep it when she and Prince Charles got divorced. The tiara - alleged to be worth as much as $4 million - has reportedly been part of the royal jewelry collection since the reign of Queen Mary.

Someone secretly gifted Kate Middleton with an emerald necklace, earrings, and bracelet set 

• Worn by: Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 2014
• Estimated value: $2.5 million

Kate Middleton knows that all eyes are on her whenever she leaves her front door. It's been that way ever since she and Prince William first became interested in one another at college. So, the Duchess of Cambridge makes an effort to look her best when she can, especially when she's invited to an event like the BAFTAs.

When she and Prince William attended this in 2018, Kate showcased a stunning selection of emerald jewelry. The necklace, earrings, and bracelet set were apparently a private gift that she received, although it's unclear who gave them to her. Whoever it was must have had a lot of money, given estimates say the set could be worth $2.5 million.

The Cullinan V heart diamond brooch apparently has a stone taken from the world's largest diamond 

• Worn by: Queen Mary; Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1911
• Estimated value: $9.4 million

It's hard to imagine the Queen stepping out in front of the cameras and not wearing a brooch. It's the perfect piece of jewelry that makes a statement without being over-the-top. Queen Elizabeth II has plenty of expensive brooches in her royal jewelry collection, but not many are worth as much as the Cullinan V heart diamond brooch.

Supposedly, this piece could be worth more than $9.4 million. The combination of an 18.8 carat stone and a rich history seemingly makes it incredibly valuable. Apparently, the stone was taken from the largest diamond ever discovered, so it's perhaps no wonder that it's so special. We hope the Queen has this piece kept somewhere incredibly secure.

Granny's Chips brooch is supposedly the most expensive brooch in the royal jewelry collection 

• Worn by: Queen Mary; Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1905
• Estimated value: $50 million

The Cullinan V heart diamond brooch is definitely at the higher end of the Queen's expensive royal jewelry. However, it's supposedly not the most expensive brooch in her collection. That honor apparently goes to what's reportedly known as the Granny's Chips brooch. Some say that this piece of jewelry could be worth a staggering $50 million.

For something to be so expensive, it has to be one-of-a-kind. Of course, that's precisely what this brooch is. Crafted from a diamond reportedly given to King Edward VI, the 94.4 carat stone was gifted to his wife. When Queen Elizabeth II inherited it, she supposedly called it Granny's Chips brooch because she received it from her grandmother.

The Crown Orb has over 700 gems embedded in it 

• Worn by: Every monarch since 1661
• Owned since: 1661
• Estimated value: $4 billion to $6 billion

When Prince Charles succeeds his mother and becomes king, there's a lot that he'll inherit. The Crown Jewels are probably one of the most exciting things on that list, especially given they're reportedly worth between $4 billion and $6 billion. Charles will likely become very familiar with these during his coronation, as hell be presented with them.

The Crown Orb is one of the items he'll have to hold. Made from gold, it features 368 pearls, 365 diamonds, 18 rubies, nine sapphires, and nine emeralds. It's maybe no wonder that the Crown Jewels are worth so much when the Crown Orb contains so many gems. King Charles II knew what he was doing when he commissioned this.

The Imperial State crown has been around for centuries, but only in its current form since 1937 

• Worn by: King George VI; Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1937
• Estimated value: $4 billion to $6 billion

The Crown Jewels consist of more than just the Crown Orb. There's also the Imperial State crown, which Charles will also be expected to wear during his coronation. Although it looks similar to St. Edward's crown, the two are definitely different. For one, the Imperial State crown is supposedly worth a lot more money, thanks to the Crown Jewels.

Reportedly included within this crown are the Stuart Sapphire, St. Edward's Sapphire, the Cullinan II Diamond, and the Black Prince's Ruby. Combined with more diamonds and gold, the crown contributes heavily to the exceptional worth of the Crown Jewels. This version of the crown has apparently only been around since 1937, although it's existed in some form for centuries.

The Burmese ruby tiara is apparently one of the newer pieces of jewelry in the Queen's collection 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1973
• Estimated value: $9 million

While some of the Royal Family jewelry in Queen Elizabeth II's collection has been around for centuries, the Burmese ruby tiara is relatively new. It was apparently only commissioned in the 1970s, with Garrard responsible for crafting this exceptional accessory. The Queen was apparently gifted it by the Burmese people, with the tiara boasting rubies from their country.

There are apparently 96 of these gems included in this piece of expensive Royal Family jewelry, making the accessory worth a pretty penny. Experts apparently estimate its worth at $9 million, so it's definitely one of the most expensive pieces in the Queen's collection. Supposedly, the Burmese believe rubies help avoid illness, which is something any monarch would probably want. 

The Duchess of Cornwall's pink topaz choker instantly stood out in the Royal Family's collection 

• Worn by: Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
• Owned since: 2000
• Estimated value: $30,000

Not having many pink jewels in the Royal Family's collection meant that Camilla was always going to stand out when she wore her pink topaz choker to Harry and Meghan's wedding. It all started back in 2000 when the pink topaz went up for sale at Sotheby's, and it wasn't long before they were spotted on Camilla's neck.

As if the huge stone alone wasn't enough, it's held in place by rows of pearls that delicately complete the look. No one is entirely sure how much the choker costs. However, the fact the pink topaz jewels initially went for $28,000 at auction has left people estimating that Camilla's necklace set her back around $30,000.

Kate Middleton's acorn and oak leaf earrings were a wedding gift from her parents 

• Worn by: Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 2011
• Estimated value: $18,000

What do you get your daughter when she's marrying the future king? If you're anything like Kate Middleton's parents, you invest in a pair of custom-made earrings. They come complete with an acorn and oak leaf to represent each of Kate's siblings in one of the most fitting ways possible. Still, they weren't a cheap investment.

The custom jewelry set Kate's parents back a whopping $18,000, but it seems they were worth every penny. Like so many other pieces in the Duchess of Cambridge's closet, Kate has re-worn her earrings to a host of events in the years since she walked down the aisle. Of course, she has looked glowing each time.

Lady Amelia Heart designed the Bleeding Heart Earrings 

• Worn by: Lady Amelia Windsor
• Owned since: 2019
• Estimated value: $285

Believe it or not, but not every piece of jewelry in the Royal Family collection comes with a million-dollar price tag. In fact, some are meant to be affordable, like the Bleeding Heart Earrings Lady Amelia Windsor designed back in 2019. It came when she was approached by Tada & Toy to work on a new collection of jewelry.

Confused about how Lady Amelia is a part of the Royal Family? She is the daughter of the Queen's first cousin, meaning she won't take to the throne but is still a Windsor. All in all, a pair of the Bleeding Heart Earrings, inspired by Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet,' will set someone back an affordable $285.

Sarah Ferguson's engagement ring featured a Burmese ruby surrounded by diamonds 

• Worn by: Sarah Ferguson
• Owned since: 1986
• Estimated value: $78,000

It turns out Sarah Ferguson's engagement ring wasn't something that had been in the Royal Family's jewel collection for years. Instead, it was custom-made to stand out from the crowd. The Burmese ruby in the center of it all is the main attraction, but the ten diamonds and yellow gold band are nothing to ignore.

It's said that the ring set the couple back a staggering $33,000 when Sarah Ferguson said yes to the question back in 1986. In today's money, that's the equivalent of $78,000. That's quite the investment for a marriage that was over just a decade later. Still, Sarah got to enjoy the jewel's beauty while she was still married.

Marie Antoinette's necklace is one of the few remaining pieces from her collection 

• Worn by: Marie Antoinette
• Owned since: 1700s
• Estimated value: $200,000 - $300,000

When thinking of royalty, the name Marie Antoinette often comes up. She was a French queen who was married to Louis XVI, but that's not all. Marie was also known to love the finer things in life, including a host of jewels and pearls that often completed her look. Sadly, much of Marie's jewelry has been lost throughout the years.

One of the few pieces that have remained is none other than her pearl necklace with diamond clasp that's complete with no fewer than 331 natural pearls. Rather than keep the piece tucked away, Marie Antoinette's necklace was placed up for auction in 2018. Sotheby's ultimately priced the piece between $200,000 and $300,000.

Meghan Markle showcased her Reflection Collection earrings on her wedding day 

• Worn by: Meghan Markle
• Owned since: 2018
• Estimated value: $68,000

It turns out that not every piece of jewelry belonging to the Royal Family has been around for generations. Some are newer to the collection, such as the Cartier earrings Meghan Markle wore for the evening of her big day. The duchess changed for her reception and brought out the piece from the Reflection Collection to top things off.

The white gold and diamond earrings perfectly complemented Meghan's second gown for the day. They also cost a pretty penny, coming with a price tag of $68,000. Coming from the famous jeweler might make that a little less surprising, and they complimented Meghan's gown oh-so-well, catching the light in all the right ways.

The Cubitt-Shand Tiara joined the Royal Family when Camilla married Prince Charles

• Worn by: Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall; Laura Lopes
• Owned since: Early 1900s
• Estimated value: $250,000

The Cubitt-Shand Tiara might not have been an official part of the Royal Family's jewel collection until Camilla joined the family, but it's an extraordinary piece nonetheless. Camilla was first loaned the tiara by her grandmother, Sonia Keppel, for the first time she walked down the aisle in 1973. It was later officially gifted to Camilla.

From there, the tiara has returned to wow the crowd at her daughter's wedding, as Laura Lopes showcased the dazzling piece once again in 2006. It's made from a host of dazzling jewels and comes with quite the price tag. After all, a $250,000 tiara isn't anything to scoff at, but the price is certainly worth it.

No one is sure where Prince Charles' signet pinky ring came from all those years ago 

• Worn by: Prince Charles
• Owned since: 1975
• Estimated value: Unknown

No one is entirely sure where the gold signet pinky ring came from, but there's rarely been a day that Prince Charles hasn't been seen without it since the mid-'70s. In fact, it's been a part of several memorable moments for the prince, from his photoshoot with Princess Diana following their engagement to his marriage to Camilla.

Signet rings traditionally symbolize someone's family heritage and personal signature and became a prominent part of the upper class to show the world their status. It's typically worn on someone's non-dominant hand, with the Prince of Wales opting to stack his signet ring with his wedding band on his pinky finger. Sadly, no one knows how much it's worth.

Princess Margaret was greeted with a custom 'M' brooch topped with a crown 

• Worn by: Princess Margaret
• Owned since: 1951
• Estimated value: $200,000

If you've been keeping up with the drama 'The Crown,' there's a good chance you might have realized Princess Margaret was one of the more fashionable members of the Royal Family. One of the many things that came from her time in the family was her personalized brooch that was gifted to the princess in 1951.

It's one of the more understated pieces in their collection but shines in its own right. The brooch features an 'M' topped with a crown and shines brighter than most other smaller accessories. The brooch went up for sale some time ago and sold for a staggering $200,000 to reflect the cost of the jewels and the sentimental meaning.

Prince Charles allegedly bought his Parmigiani watch while on vacation in 2015 

• Worn by: Prince Charles
• Owned since: 2015
• Estimated value: $12,500

It turns out that it's not just the jewels owned by the Royal Family that come with some pretty significant price tags. Prince Charles might not be one known to wear tiaras or diamond necklaces, but that doesn't mean he forgets about accessories altogether. Instead, he's been greeted with a $12,500 Parmigiani watch that's been seen since 2015.

Prince Charles' watch is an 18-carat wonder and is one of the rarer pieces on the market. That's because the Swiss watchmaker only releases a few pieces each year, meaning you have to move fast if you want one for yourself. It's said Charles invested in his while visiting Klosters in Switzerland while on vacation.

The butterfly earrings originally owned by Princess Diana have since been gifted to Meghan Markle 

• Worn by: Princess Diana; Meghan Markle
• Owned since: Unknown
• Estimated value: $15,000

It's perhaps no secret that Princess Diana was a sucker for something sparkly. After all, the princess was often seen with all kinds of jewels regardless of her outfit, but what about some of the cheaper additions to her wardrobe? One of those came in the form of her butterfly earrings that set Diana back $15,000.

The gold set diamonds are some of the smaller additions to the Royal Jewels. Still, they make a large impact and have since been brought back to life by Meghan Markle. The Duchess of Sussex has been seen wearing the set a handful of times, including when she toured Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia.

Kate Middleton's Ballon Bleu De Cartier watch was a gift from Prince William 

• Worn by: Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 2012
• Estimated value: $5,200

Her Ballon Bleu De Cartier watch is far from the most expensive thing in Kate Middleton's collection. However, it's something that might have more of a sentimental meaning to the Duchess of Cambridge than others. That's because it was a gift from her husband, Prince William, shortly after their first wedding anniversary. That's not all.

The watch comes at a price of $5,200 and is everything as elegant as Kate. The sleek watch is silver with hints of blue and amazingly closely matches one already in William's collection. Of course, not being on loan from the Queen means that Kate can wear her thoughtful gift whenever she pleases without any repercussions.

Kate Middleton's tanzanite earrings and necklace could be a nod to Princess Diana 

• Worn by: Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 2010s
• Estimated value: $22,000

Even though Princess Diana has been gone for years, she will never be forgotten. That's even more true when it comes to her sons and their wives, as they have all done an incredible job of keeping her memory alive. One of the many ways they've done that is through Diana's jewelry, but Kate Middleton did something a little different.

The Duchess of Cambridge actually designed a new piece a few years back, using tanzanite to create an incredible earring and necklace set that cost $22,000. Plenty of fans were quick to point out the similarities between Kate's set and Diana's love of sapphires. Thankfully, the investment paid off as Kate has worn the set a host of times.

Prince Philip gifted the Queen her scarab brooch back in 1966 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1966
• Estimated value: $50,000

Looking at the Queen's scarab brooch might leave some people wondering why it's in her collection. Sure, it cost $50,000 and has been by her side since 1966, but it's pretty different from the usual brooches she has worn throughout the years. It seems the brooch's sentimental value might be why she's kept it for so long.

The brooch is made from diamonds, yellow gold, and rubies and was gifted to the Queen by none other than Prince Philip. Sure, coming in at $50,000 means it's far from the most expensive brooch in the Queen's collection, but having lost her husband in April 2021, it probably means the Queen will be holding on to this one.

The emerald floral brooch was one of the more impressive brooches in the Queen Mother's collection 

• Worn by: The Queen Mother; Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall
• Owned since: 1943
• Estimated value: $75,000

It might not be tough to see where the Queen gets her inspiration for brooches from, given the Queen Mother was almost always spotted in one. She had a huge collection of brooches to her name, but none stood out quite like her emerald floral brooch. The green contrasted most looks, but no one is entirely sure where it originated.

Some have theorized that the Queen Mother was gifted the piece by British philanthropist Margaret Greville who was known to give the Royal Family a host of impressive pieces. Whatever the case, it seems the floral brooch was a part of the Queen Mother's collection since 1943 and likely cost somewhere in the region of $75,000.

Kate Middleton's blue topaz earrings first appeared at her wedding but not in her ears 

• Worn by: Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 2011
• Estimated value: $18,000

If you know everything there is to know about the Royal Family and the jewels to their name, then you might have recognized the blue topaz earrings Kate Middleton showed off in 2015. It's no secret that the duchess loves to pair her jewels with her outfits, which was the case at the James Bond ‘Spectre' premier in 2015.

The chandelier blue topaz earrings dazzle as soon as they catch the light, but where had they been for the last four years? Probably in her mom's collection. That's right; Carole Middleton first wore the earrings to her daughter's wedding in 2011 before Kate somehow got her hands on the $18,000 set and resurrected them.

The Mappin and Webb diamond earrings and necklace first appeared at Princess Charlotte's christening 

• Worn by: Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 2016
• Estimated value: $8,100

It's not every day that we get to make some incredible memories with our family. Perhaps that's why Kate Middleton wanted to make sure she had everything possible to make Princess Charlotte's christening the best it could be? However, it wasn't just the event and outfits that needed to be sorted; there were also the jewels.

Kate decided the best way to sparkle on the big day was with none other than a set of earrings and matching necklace from Mappin and Webb. The delicate pieces feature floral diamond motifs that have all been set in white gold. It's a timeless piece, but one we probably won't find lying around at $8,100.

Meghan Markle's Snowstorm earrings quickly dominated the internet 

• Worn by: Meghan Markle
• Owned since: 2018
• Estimated value: $12,000

It's not uncommon for the Royal Family to set fashion trends without even trying. From their looks to their accessories and everything in between, there's been no shortage of ways that they've taken the fashion world by storm. One of the many things that have got people talking are their accessories and jewels, including Meghan Markle's Birks earrings.

Meghan was first spotted wearing the set for her rehearsal wedding dinner, and it didn't take long for people to track them down. While they might cost a whopping $12,000 for the real thing, plenty of people have recreated the Snowstorm earrings. Yes, we really can get our hands on an affordable version if we know where to look.

The flower basket brooch has been with the Queen since welcoming Prince Charles 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1948
• Estimated value: $50,000

Let's face it; it probably wouldn't be an outfit from the Queen if she didn't have a brooch. The royal is rarely spotted without one on her jacket, and with so many in her collection, it might be easy to see why. One of the many to her name is the flower basket brooch that's been brought out several times.

The Queen was gifted the piece from her parents back in 1948 after she welcomed Prince Charles. Although she has so many brooches, the flower basket piece is a little different from her other looks. After all, it's heavily styled and colorful but must mean a lot as the Queen wore it in the first official photographs of Charles.

Meghan Markle re-wore her $17,000 wedding earrings to Archie's christening 

• Worn by: Meghan Markle
• Owned since: 2018
• Estimated value: $17,000

Most brides want something special to wear on their big day. Meghan Markle was no exception and made good use of a host of pieces from Cartier. One of the many that came out in 2018 was none other than the Galanterie diamond stud earrings that completed the look Meghan wore to the grand ceremony.

Of course, the earrings didn't come cheap, adding another $17,000 to the look. However, the sparkle they bring, thanks to the number of jewels across the studs, makes it all worthwhile. It seems that Meghan loved them so much that she brought them back out for her son Archie's christening on July 6, 2019.

Kate Middleton splashed out on one of the best-selling sets from Van Cleef and Arpels 

• Worn by: Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 2018
• Estimated value: $17,400

There are designers, and then there's Van Cleef and Arpels. They really know how to bring beautiful pieces to life, but none of them come cheap. In fact, Kate Middleton's mother of pearl and diamond earrings and necklace set might have been some of the more affordable things in the collection at just $17,400.

One of the reasons the set is on the more affordable end of the scale is that they weren't custom-made for the duchess. That's right; being one of the company's best-selling pieces means that anyone has the chance to get their hands on the gorgeous set and bring Kate's look to life in their everyday lives.

The Kent Diamond and Pearl Fringe Tiara has seen some updates in recent decades 

• Worn by: Queen Mary; Katharine, Duchess of Kent
• Owned since: Early 1900s
• Estimated value: $500,000

If there's one thing that goes hand in hand with the Royal Family, it's an impressive tiara. Queen Mary was known for her love of diamonds, so it might be little surprise that this diamond-covered tiara was once in her collection. Still, the Kent Diamond and Pearl Fringe Tiara has come a long way since it was made.

The Kents updated the tiara in the 1970s, bumping its value up to a whopping $500,000.The base of the tiara has remained the same. However, Katharine, Duchess of Kent, wanted something extra to bring it to life, so she covered the top of the crown with pearls. Now, the piece stands out even more for all the right reasons.

The infinite ring is a simple yet sparkling addition to Meghan Markle's collection 

• Worn by: Meghan Markle
• Owned since: 2018
• Estimated value: $1,500

Just because it glitters and is gold doesn't mean that it has to cost a fortune. At least, that's the case for the infinite ring seen on Meghan Markle's hands in recent years. It's believed the duchess purchased the addition in 2018 to the tune of $1,500 from Vanessa Tugendhaft's Promesse Line before showcasing it at the Invictus Games.

The 18-carat ring is a simple addition that's complete with 0.25-carat diamonds, adding a subtle touch of sparkle to any look. That's far from the only time that Meghan has showcased the ring, suggesting it's one of her favorites from her collection. The best bit? It's one of the more affordable pieces for people wanting their own version.

Lady Sarah's floral tiara started life as three flower brooches 

• Worn by: Princess Margaret; Lady Sarah Chatto; Lady Francess von Hormannsthal
• Owned since: 1960
• Estimated value: $40,000 - $50,000

What happens when you receive a gift and want to turn it into something spectacular? If you're anything like Lady Sarah Chatto, then you make one of the more impressive tiaras in the Royal Family's collection. She wore the floral wedding tiara on her wedding day in 1994, but it actually started life as three brooches gifted to Princess Margaret.

Sarah took the brooches and had them turned into the perfect fairy-inspired tiara for her big day, with a touch of green making it look even more magical. The diamonds are still a part of Sarah's collection today. Still, she's been equally as generous with her tiara as Sarah loaned the look to her sister, Frances, for her own wedding.

The Iveagh Tiara is one of the few tiaras that hasn't been changed 

• Worn by: Queen Mary of Teck; Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester
• Owned since: 1893
• Estimated value: $81,250

It turns out the Iveagh Tiara has plenty of history that started with Lord and Lady Iveagh. They were two Irish aristocrats who worked their way up the social ladder until they were an earl and countess. From there, they worked to create a tiara to gift to Queen Mary of Teck for her wedding in 1983.

Amazingly, it seemed they did a perfect job with the look, as it's one of the only pieces that Queen Mary didn't alter before it was handed through the Royal Family. One of the many to showcase the piece in the years since was Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester, who has been seen wearing the tiara in more recent times.

Although Kate Middleton wears the platinum fern brooch, it actually belongs to the Queen 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II; Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 1953
• Estimated value: Unknown

Kate Middleton is the one who's been spotted in the platinum fern brooch the most. However, it doesn't belong to the duchess and is merely one of the royal jewels on loan from Queen Elizabeth II. She got her hands on the piece in 1953 when she toured New Zealand after being crowned queen earlier in the year.

The Women of Auckland were the ones behind the gift, but no one is entirely sure how much it cost. All we know is that the brooch is made from platinum and diamonds, so it's probably safe to assume that it cost a pretty penny. Whatever the case, it's a brilliant yet subtle way to add some class and sparkle.

Queen Victoria's jewel collection supposedly inspired the Oriental Circlet Tiara 

• Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1853
• Estimated value: $38,185

Plenty of royal jewels have been inspired by people from the past. The same can be said for the Oriental Circlet Tiara that was made back in 1853. Amazingly, it cost just $1,129 to make, meaning it would cost around $38,185 in today's money. So, where did the inspiration come from? Supposedly, Queen Victoria's jewels.

The queen had a collection from India, which was mainly made from gold and opal and featured a host of additions, such as Mughal arches and lotus flowers. Now, the tiara consists of over 2,600 diamonds and still features a host of opals to bring it to life. Apparently, opals were always a favorite of Victoria's husband, Prince Albert.

The Cambridge Emerald Necklace has seen plenty of royal owners 

• Worn by: Queen Mary; Queen Elizabeth II; Princess Diana; Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 1921
• Estimated value: Unknown

Some jewels are made for one member of the Royal Family and stay with them until they pass. Others? They are handed through the generations. That's the case for the Cambridge Emerald Necklace, which was first made in 1921 and belonged to Queen Mary. The deco style still remains in place today, even after it was given to the Queen.

The Queen has never been a fan of chokers, so it remained hidden away until Princess Diana got her hands on the necklace after meeting Prince Charles. Even then, she was often seen getting creative with the jewels, even wearing the Cambridge Emerald Necklace as a headband. Recently, Kate Middleton has been seen wearing one of Diana's favorite looks.

The Stuart Tiara is thought to be the grandest tiara in the Dutch Royal Family 

• Worn by: Queen Mary II; Queen Maxima
• Owned since: 1897
• Estimated value: $270,500

It might come as little surprise after seeing the sheer size of the Stuart Tiara that it's estimated to cost a staggering $270,500. It becomes even less surprising once we learn that the central diamond is a whopping 39.75-carat stone. The tiara once belonged to Queen Mary II before it was handed to Queen Maxima.

The pale blue diamond is even more impressive when we learn it's over 100 years old and has gone from being part of a brooch to a remarkable tiara. Now, it's set in 22 diamonds and makes for quite the statement piece. Thankfully, the Netherlands royal has brought her jewels to London after wearing them to the state banquet.

The Cameo Tiara's intricate details and carvings make it a stand-out piece 

• Worn by: Princess Victoria
• Owned since: 1805 - 1809
• Estimated value: $2.31 million

Not all tiaras have quite the story to them as the Cameo Tiara. Initially, it was made for Empress Josephine by her husband, Napoleon. The piece was made in the final years of their marriage and has been worn by a host of royals ever since, including Princess Victoria who donned the tiara for her wedding day.

The name comes from the seven cameos - the oval carved portraits - that sit around the top of the crown. Each of these was handmade, but they were never intended to be a set. That means they are different sizes and themes, which somehow come together perfectly. Now, it's one of the most treasured tiaras in the Swedish Royal Family.
 

Princess Diana's love of pearls extended to her Nigel Milne pearl bracelet 

• Worn by: Princess Diana; Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 1988
• Estimated value: $3,218

The more we see of Princess Diana's jewelry collection, the more we realize that the People's Princess was a huge fan of pearls. Perhaps that's what led her to jeweler Nigel Milne in search of a new addition in 1988? The jeweler is known for combining 20th-century jewelry with contemporary looks that matched Diana's style with ease.

Of course, being made from diamonds and pearls means that it came with quite the price tag of $3,218. It's one of the more subtle pieces that ever joined Princess Diana's collection. However, it quickly seemed to become one of her favorites, as she was seen wearing the piece a host of times at different events throughout the years.

The Khedive of Egypt Tiara was almost lost forever when Princess Margaret passed 

• Worn by: Princess Margaret of Connaught; Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark
• Owned since: 1905
• Estimated value: $11,810

Although Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark ultimately wore the Khedive of Egypt Tiara, it was actually given to Princess Margaret of Connaught. Amazingly, it also comes with quite the history and was almost lost forever. It started in 1905 when Margaret was given the tiara as a wedding gift from the Egyptian government, and she even wore it on her big day.

However, Margaret was never meant to marry Prince Gustaf. Instead, he was lined up to walk down the aisle with her sister, Patricia, before he met and fell head over heels for Margaret. In the end, the pair tied the knot. Margaret later asked to be buried in her wedding look, but for some reason, the tiara was kept back.

The Teck Turquoise Tiara is a part of a set that showcases the incredible color 

• Worn by: Mary Adelaide of Cambridge; Queen Mary of Teck; Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester
• Owned since: 1850
• Estimated value: $43,850

It's not often that a tiara is a part of a collection, but that's the case for the Teck Turquoise Tiara. It comes from the Gloucester Tiara Collection and was inherited by Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester, from Queen Mary of Teck. So far, it's been worn by two generations of royals and has plenty of life left in it.

After all, the turquoise gems and diamonds go together in a timeless style, even though it was created back in 1850. Of course, the turquoise set wouldn't be complete without the matching three brooches, necklace, and earrings, right? Even on its own - and after some alterations - the tiara is now estimated to be worth $43,850.

The Countess of Wessex enjoyed a million-dollar custom tiara for her wedding 

• Worn by: Sophie, Countess of Wessex
• Owned since: 1999
• Estimated value: $1 million

Prince Charles often takes center stage when it comes to the Royal Family. After all, he's set to be next in line for the throne. Still, the Queen has other sons, including Prince Edward, who brought Sophie, Countess of Wessex, into the family when they walked down the aisle in 1999. Of course, she needed an impressive tiara for the day.

While Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle got to choose a piece of their own from the royal collection for their big days, Sophie got a custom-made tiara that's estimated to have cost a whopping $1 million. Little is known about the tiara. However, it's believed the diamonds were already in the Queen's collection before they got a makeover.

Princess Diana pushed the boat out with her more affordable snake brooch 

• Worn by: Princess Diana
• Owned since: 1986
• Estimated value: $500 - $1,000

It's not just the Queen who loves to add a brooch to her looks to bring them to life. Plenty of other women in the Royal Family have followed in their footsteps with their own take on the accessory. Of course, it wouldn't have been something in Princess Diana's collection without it being something outside of the box, right?

Diana often shopped at the jewelers' Butler and Wilson, which is where she got her hands on the snake brooch in 1986. Amazingly, it didn't cost as much as many expect, sitting somewhere between $500 and $1,000. Nowadays, vintage versions of the brooch are tough to find, probably because of Diana's copy making them so popular.

The coronation earrings are actually very different sizes if you compare the two 

• Worn by: Queen Victoria; Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1858
• Estimated value: Unknown

There's not one aspect of a coronation look that goes overlooked. After all, it's one of the most important moments in any royal's life as they start their time on the throne. Amazingly, it seems the size of the coronation earrings might have flown under the radar at the time. That's because they're two completely different sizes.

They were designed to match the necklace and were made for Queen Victoria back in 1858. However, side by side makes it easier to tell that one is a 12-carat diamond while the other is a 7-carat stone. Still, that hasn't stopped the Queen from wearing the set a host of times while out and about.

Margaret Greville's pear-drop diamond earrings have been on several royal ears 

• Worn by: The Queen Mother; Queen Elizabeth II; Princess Diana
• Owned since: 1942
• Estimated value: Unknown

Margaret Greville gifted a host of jewels to the Royal Family throughout her life, including some pear-drop earrings that have been seen a handful of times. They get their name from the pear-shaped diamond hanging from the emerald-shaped jewel at the top of the earrings. The shape of the earrings mean they don't match perfectly.

Still, that hasn't been enough to see them thrown out of the royal collection, as they've been a part of the Royal Family since 1942. They once belonged to the Queen Mother before they were handed down to the Queen. From there, the 10-carat earrings were given to Princess Diana for her first official visit to Australia.

The Kokoshnik tiara is one of the most expensive pieces in the Royal Family's jewel collection 

• Worn by: Queen Alexandra; Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1888
• Estimated value: $6.5 million - $13 million

It turns out that plenty of pieces in the Royal Family's jewel collection have quite the history attached to their name. The same can be said for the Kokoshnik Tiara that started back when Queen Alexandra was about to celebrate her silver wedding anniversary. Apparently, a team called The Committee was behind the gift.

The Committee was made up of 364 aristocratic women who raised the money needed to create a tiara made from 61 diamond bars. Now, the 100-year-old tiara is kept tucked safely away in the Queen's vault, where it's only bought out on special occasions. That's probably due to the estimated $6.5 million to $13 million price tag.

The Richmond Brooch has become a favorite in the Queen's collection 

• Worn by: Queen Mary of Teck; Queen Elizabeth II
• Owned since: 1893
• Estimated value: $81,000

There's a good reason the Richmond Brooch has its name - it was given to Queen Mary from the town of Richmond. Mary was apparently so dazzled by the accessory that she wore it during her wedding to King George V. However, its value has dramatically increased throughout the years from the initial cost of £500 (approximately $580.)

It's now believed the brooch costs somewhere around $81,000 and has become a part of the Queen's special collection. She was handed the brooch during her coronation and has held into it ever since. In fact, the Queen wore the addition to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding as well as her husband, Prince Philip's, funeral.

Prince Charles gifted Princess Diana a unique gray pearl necklace 

• Worn by: Princess Diana
• Owned since: 1986
• Estimated value: $5,000 - $10,000

It seems that if someone wanted to get Princess Diana something she would love, all you needed was something containing pearls. After all, the People's Princess was pictured in the jewels a host of times throughout the years and had a host of pieces in her collection. Not all of them were passed down through the Royal Family.

Apparently, Prince Charles wanted to get a gift for his then-wife and quickly set his eyes on a gray pearl necklace. It's one of the more unusual pieces many have seen, as it features both gray and white pearls strung together. Thankfully, the gift appeared to pay off, as Diana was often snapped wearing the necklace.

Princess Diana started a trend of wearing engraved gold pendants 

• Worn by: Princess Diana
• Owned since: 1982
• Estimated value: $1,000 - $5,000

While things might not have ended well between the pair, it seems there was a time that Prince Charles and Princess Diana were always showing off gifts bought for them by each other. Diana's engraved gold pendant is one of the many on the list, and it wasn't long before she started a trend that would last generations.

Charles invested in the pendant when Diana welcomed Prince William into the world, which features their son's name delicately engraved onto the jewelry, and she was often seen wearing the gift. The tradition was continued in 2013 when Kate Middleton welcomed Prince George. This time, it was her sister, Pippa, who gifted Kate an engraved pendant, complete with George's name.

People immediately wanted to find Meghan Markle's ruby heart earrings 

• Worn by: Meghan Markle
• Owned since: 2019
• Estimated value: $7,460

Meghan Markle is one of those people who could wear just about anything and turn it into a trend. The same can be said for the ruby heart earrings she donned back in 2019. They're from designer Jessica McCormack, and it didn't take long for people on the internet to hunt them down. Sadly, they're not cheap.

At least, not all of us have $7,460 to spend on a set of earrings for ourselves. Maybe that's why so many people have tried to recreate the look over the years? Even though it's been a few years since Meghan first wore the earrings, being so popular means that recreations continue to sell out.

The signet pinky ring was a gift to Diana from Prince Charles for their wedding 

• Worn by: Princess Diana
• Owned since: 1983
• Estimated value: $500,000

It's not just necklaces and jewels that once filled Princess Diana's collection. There was a time she had a host of rings to her name, but not all of them had as much sentimental meaning as her signet ring. Many praised the princess for bringing back the pinky ring trend in 1983 when she posed at Kensington Palace.

However, it's not until many look closer that they realize what one of them means. The signet ring was reportedly given to Diana as a wedding gift from Prince Charles. It's believed it's covered in the prince's feathers and came with a note to help Diana relax before their big day. Thankfully, the gift was seemingly appreciated.

Princess Diana's Collingwood pearl earrings have since been gifted to Kate Middleton 

• Worn by: Princess Diana; Kate Middleton
• Owned since: 1981
• Estimated value: $35,000 - $40,000

It appears Princess Diana might have been showered with gifts from her future husband before she walked down the aisle with Prince Charles. That's because she was gifted a set of Collingwood pearl earrings in the build-up to their ceremony, with Diana first spotted in the set a month before they walked down the aisle.

Like many other pieces she had to her name, Diana was greeted by a set of pearl earrings that didn't come cheap. In fact, it's estimated they cost somewhere between $35,000 and $40,000. It seems they're also one of the many sets that Kate Middleton was gifted when she married Prince William in April 2011.

The Prince of Qatar gifted Princess Diana a set of pearl earrings for her wedding 

• Worn by: Princess Diana
• Owned since: 1981
• Estimated value: $500,000 - $1 million

It wouldn't be Princess Diana without a set of pearl earrings or ten. Is anyone surprised that she used to once have thousands of dollars worth of jewels on her ears? Probably not anymore. One of the many sets she had in her collection were none other than the Emir of Qatar Floral Pearl Earrings, but they weren't from Charles.

Instead, the Prince of Qatar sent the set to Diana as a wedding gift. The cost? Somewhere between $500,000 and $1 million. That's quite the way to wish someone well on their big day and is probably something most of us won't ever recreate. Still, they always looked perfect with every one of Princess Diana's looks.
