George VI Festoon Necklace


King George VI commissioned the diamond necklace for his daughter Princess Elizabeth in 1950, which was created using 105 loose collets from the Crown heirlooms that he had inherited from Queen Mary.

The necklace was designed with a triple strand of graduated collets suspended between two diamond triangles, and a single collet strand at the back.

Queen Elizabeth II wore it for many stately occasions, and it was last seen on Her Majesty at the State Banquet for the King and Queen of the Netherlands in 2018.​
