This evening sees the anniversary of the death in 1901 of Queen Victoria. In her will she bequeathed a considerable part of her collection of jewellery as a permanent endowment for future Queens Regnant or Consort.
These “Heirlooms of the Crown” - some more familiar than others - are described and illustrated in a post from The Royal Jeweller at Queen Victoria's Heirlooms of the Crown
