Queen Victoria's Bow brooch - small

Bow brooches have been a popular design since the 1800s, and in May 1858, Garrard (the Crown Jewellers) made a set of three bow brooches, two large and one small, out of 506 diamonds supplied by Queen Victoria. There is no pictorial reference to prove that Queen Victoria wore them; however, they were worn by both Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary at their Coronations. Queen Mary, in 1912, wore the brooch with the pear-shaped Cullinan III suspended from the bottom of it. This is the smaller of our bow brooches. It is made from lead-free pewter, silver-plated and adorned with Bohemian crystals. 

This item of jewellery comes with a Gift box, romance story card and care instructions.
