To begin with, we have the Emerald choker, which was once famously work by the late Princess Diana. Comprised of rich green emeralds and stunning diamonds, the origin of this diamond is somewhat unknown. It is thought that the choker was a gift to Queen Mary in 1911 from the ladies of India. Before it was the Art Deco choker, the gemstones were originally set in a necklace.

Our next piece of jewellery on the list is the coronation ring. The Coronation ceremony signifies the crowning of a new monarch in the UK. This ceremony has taken place in Westminster abbey since 1066, making it one of the oldest traditions in the country.
