This exhibition marks the first time a display of this scale, exploring 500 years of British royal jewellery, will be presented. Approximately two-thirds of the items have never been publicly exhibited before, according to The Standard. The collection traces changing fashions and personal stories associated with jewellery worn by monarchs from Henry VIII to Elizabeth II.
Key pieces on display will include the Diamond Diadem, created in 1820 and famously worn by Elizabeth II for her stamp portraits. Visitors will also see Queen Victoria's Small Diamond Crown, a piece so closely linked to the monarch that it was placed on her coffin during her lying in state. Cufflinks believed to have been worn by Charles I at his execution in 1649 will also be shown for the first time.

The exhibition will focus on jewellery associated with queens and consorts from Queen Charlotte to Elizabeth II, illustrating shifts in style from Georgian and Victorian periods through to Art Deco and mid-century designs. Items newly linked to Queen Charlotte, George III's wife, through recent research, such as her garnet jewel set, will be featured. Other notable inclusions are Queen Alexandra's articulated serpent bracelet and a Faberge aquamarine and diamond pendant given to the future Elizabeth II by her grandmother, Queen Mary.
Keepsakes belonging to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert will also be exhibited, including Victoria's first ring, a diamond and sapphire brooch given by Albert, a bracelet made from pebbles collected on their travels, and Victoria's mourning ring for Prince Albert. The brooch set with the first milk tooth of their eldest daughter, Princess Victoria, will also be displayed.
