By the way... As the most jeweled old lady in the world, it goes without saying that Queen Elizabeth of England has a deep love for brooches. Whether she is attending daytime official duties or attending state receptions, she can always be seen wearing one on her left shoulder.
brooch.
Brooches are known as flowers that bloom in the heart. On specific occasions, wearing meaningful brooches makes jewelry become "a language" and is also a well-known secret of the Queen.
Throughout the past few decades, the British royal family has held many weddings. The Queen will also wear her favorite jewelry, send her blessings to the newlyweds, and welcome the newlyweds to join the royal family and become part of the Windsor family.
These weddings also help us open the Queen's jewelry box. If we want to see how rich the British royal family is, why not start from the corner of this ice (breast) mountain (needle).
The Queen has worn a bow brooch four times at weddings (only the weddings mentioned in this article). Bows have a very beautiful meaning in Chinese, symbolizing love, love, and complex. "The heart is like a double mesh with thousands of knots in it."
", the literal meaning is a sentimental love story.
It also has a similar meaning in the West, because in terms of shape, it is "tied" together with ribbons, and when used on a brooch, it expresses a playful side, and because the brooch is close to the heart when worn, it is often
It means "love" and "true love".
At her sister Princess Margaret's wedding, the Queen wore a bow brooch.
This brooch was purchased by the Queen's grandmother, Queen Mary, from Canard Jewelry in the 1930s. It has a touching name - The True Lover's Knot. After Queen Mary's death, this brooch was left directly to her.
The eldest granddaughter is also the largest bow brooch owned by the Queen.
In 2011, at the wedding of Prince William and Miss Catherine Middleton, the Queen also wore this large brooch, paired with a bright and breezy yellow suit, to send her "true love blessings" to the couple.
The second bow brooch worn at the wedding was the Dorset Bow Brooch, which was a wedding gift from Dorset to Queen Mary in 1893.
Made by jeweler Carrington, the materials include gold, silver and diamonds. The shape is very smart and the materials used seem to be cost-effective.
When Queen Elizabeth got married, her grandmother, Queen Mary, gave her this brooch as a wedding gift. At the wedding of her only daughter, Princess Anne, the Queen wore this bow brooch.
Although this marriage did not last forever in the end, the initial blessings were still good~ It can be seen that the queen is really happy to marry her daughter.
Although everyone in the European royal family has been a family for several generations, the Queen rarely attends the weddings of foreign royal members, with the exception of weddings of relatives in Greece.
Greece is Prince Philip's "natal home", and the then Crown Prince of Greece, Parovs, also lived in the UK. The Queen, to give her husband face, also wore a bow brooch to attend this "family" wedding.
This time I am wearing the Kensington Bow Brooch. This brooch was made by the jewelry company Collingwood & Co. and was given to me by the Kensington Wedding Gift Foundation (what department is this?) in 1893 (
Later) Queen Mary's wedding gift, the main body is composed of gold, silver and diamonds, with a detachable Baroque pearl hanging on the bow.
Queen Mary is the daughter of Princess Adelaide of Cambridge. She was born in Kensington Palace, so she was particularly fond of this brooch, and later left it directly to her granddaughter Queen Elizabeth.
ps: Among the three bow brooches, regardless of the intention, this brooch is my favorite. It is detachable, which means it can be worn in many ways, and the shape is exquisite and smart. Maybe it can also be worn as a hairpin~ In addition to using
A bow brooch was used to send blessings to the newlyweds, and the queen also sent beautiful wishes to her two daughters-in-law with pink diamond roses full of girly hearts.
At the weddings of her eldest son, Prince Charles, and her youngest son, Prince Edward, the Queen wore a Williamson pink diamond rose brooch. This brooch was designed and made by Cartier. The original pink diamond in the center of the flower was obtained by Canadian Geology.
Williamson’s wedding gift to Queen Elizabeth, Cartier later designed it to look like an alpine rose, using a round brilliant-cut pink diamond as the center of the rose.
At the wedding of Prince Charles, the Queen wore a light blue dress and paired a double-layered pearl necklace with a pink diamond rose brooch.
Later, when Prince Edward and Sophie Jones got married, the Queen wore a light purple suit and paired this brooch with a pearl necklace.
When Prince Charles married for the second time, the brooch worn by the Queen was not so girlish and did not have so many blessings. Instead, the brooch was used to convey the spirit of "service".
