      <image:caption>The Cullinan III and IV Brooch, the most valuable brooch in the world.  The marquise diamond suspended from the emerald and diamond necklace is also a cleaving from the Cullinan Diamond. We can’t talk about the Queen’s jewels and not mention the Cullinan.  This is the most valuable brooch in the world, made from the 3rd and 4th largest cleavings of the largest diamond ever found, the Cullinan.  The stones weigh and impressive 94.4 and 63.6 carats and are known affectionately as Granny’s Chips, after Queen Mary, who set them.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Queen wearing the Russian Kokoshnik Tiara, which she has been wearing since her twenties Set in platinum, the tiara was given to Queen Alexandra in 1888 on behalf of 365 Peeresses of the United Kingdom.  The shape was highly fashionable at the time- it was based on the headdresses of Russian peasant girls.  For a tiara, it remains a curiously contemporary looking jewel due to the simplicity and elegance of the line.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A classic and timeless design, the stone for this ring came from a tiara that had belonged to Prince Philip’s mother.  The rest of the stones were used to make a stunning Art Deco bracelet.  To this day, if the Queen starts twisting the ring round her finger, her staff recognise it as a sign of intense annoyance.</image:caption>
