Even Her Majesty cannot ignore the exquisite beauty of the Brazilian Aquamarine Parure Tiara, earrings, and necklace set that she received in 1953, even though she prefers clear diamonds to multicolored jewelry.

Beautiful rectangular aquamarines from Brazil are paired with platinum and diamonds in this amazing trio. The set was a present from the President and his people for the Queen's coronation, and it was made by Mappin & Webb in Rio de Janeiro. Elizabeth, who has continued to wear the line, is proof positive that a splash of color never goes out of style.
It is nearly impossible to believe that the gorgeous, crystal-clear stones are real. Considering the estimated $1 million worth, it's understandable why Liz reserves this set for rare occasions. We still wish we had more of it.
