The public can again visit Buckingham Palace once more, but there have been some sparkling additions.

The most recent exhibition put on by the Royal Collection Trust to commemorate Queen Elizabeth’s historic Platinum Jubilee year features some of the monarch’s most prized and personal jewellery, including her renowned Diamond Diadem, at the royal residence in London.

According to Caroline de Guitaut, the exhibition’s curator, “These are the Queen’s personal jewels. She wears them frequently, but they are very rarely presented in public, so it is a really unusual opportunity to view them in this context and to see them with the pictures is very wonderful.”

For George IV’s coronation in 1821, a valuable diamond and pearl crown adorned with 1,333 diamonds and 169 pearls was made. The sparkling crown, which includes diamonds set in the shapes of the national symbols of England, Scotland, and Wales (a rose, a thistle, and two shamrocks), has been worn by the Queen since award-winning photographer Dorothy Wilding captured her official coronation photographs in 1952.

The day of her official coronation in 1953 saw her donning the magnificent sparkler as well. Since then, she has worn it to nearly every State Opening of the Parliament.

The gems worn in a series of photos taken by Wilding during the early years of the Queen’s reign served as the inspiration for the exhibit’s selection. Additionally included in the new exhibition are those images, a total of 24 in number. When Wilding was hired to take official portraits of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (later known as the Queen Mother) at his coronation in 1937, she became the first female royal photographer. Wilding began taking pictures of the royal family in the 1920s and went to take the official portraits of the Queen for both her engagement and her accession.
