Although she is most known for being a strict and unyielding monarch, Queen Victoria was just another beautiful bride in 1840. The Prince Albert Brooch, a stunning sapphire brooch, was a gift from Prince Albert to his wife. The massive diamond-set stone is estimated to be worth $4 million.

Since Queen Victoria declared it a "heirloom of the crown," only queens or queen consorts were permitted to don it. Like her mother before her, Queen Elizabeth II enjoys donning the sparkling item, which she has been seen donning on numerous occasions. Costume jewelry like that seen in Netflix's The Crown is definitely not what this is.
Elizabeth is frequently spotted wearing this exquisite sapphire when she is decked up in all-blue since Her Majesty enjoys accessorizing her jewels to match her clothes. Liz has always loved coordination, even though styles have evolved over time.
