Buckingham Palace exclusive: the Queens jewellery show

[@princesskyrie]

I saw this exhibition when I visited London in 2012 - it was absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for archiving these displays so that I can relive my memories (and thank you to the KZbin algorithm for recommending it to me all these years later, I guess).

[@jimterryh1983]

Thank you for sharing that beautiful collection.

I was lucky enough to see this exhibition in 2012. I do have to say, the video is wonderful but seeing them in person is absolutely breathtaking. I love every part of history and it's amazing to see how much work and creativity was put in commissioning these pieces.

[@mylordslords6134]

very solemnly respect the Nobility's greetings Sorry dear Queens Elizabeth! Forgive me Excuse me! good save our!!! Love is an Altruism White love of strong affection and personal attraction. Love can also be interpreted as a feeling in a person eros, philia, agape. Love can also be interpreted as a feeling in a person, love is a good trait that inherits all the goodness of feelings of compassion and affection, Feeling Introduction Responsible Attention Mutual respect

[@rajeshramachandran1812]

Do you know the fact that most of the jewelry is stolen from India. This is absolutely disgraceful that they are proudly displaying stolen items. Queen should return the jewelry. The Kohinoor diamond which she has in her crown is stolen from India.

[@deniziz]

@@rajeshramachandran1812 I am from the US; we basically stole land from the Native Americans. I get it - its sad that even happend in our histroy but history isnt pretty. Lots of famine, lots of poor people suffering, wars, corruption, theft you name it. I think doing right would be by making sure India's history is also shared and people are educated about it. Otherwise, the door opens and not sure if itll get resolved.

[@rajeshramachandran1812]

@@deniziz I appreciate you for telling the truth. Brits always denied of any wrong doings.

[@deniziz]

@@rajeshramachandran1812 Absolutely! The Us is trying to do the same thing by sharing the sad history of Plantations, and identifying those who were lost due to slavery. It wont undo history, but people should be educated about it.

[@shereemorgan1430]

They need to get the finger prints, off the jewelry. It takes away from the brilliance.

[@lualncol]

I don't understand how they didn't notice- it really is quite blatant and it detracts a lot.

[@cmstevens]

I winced when I saw the print on the table of the Williamson diamond. An extremely rare brilliant cut purple-ish pink diamond weighing almost 25 carats and you can't clean it before the exhibit? WTF?

[@johntucker9326]

Not so sure either whether or not all the stones in the royal jewelry are of perfect unblemished quality.

[@warrenripley]

Nice video but did anyone else notice finger prints on some of the stones? White gloves should have been used when handling them.

[@karlakirkpatrick8927]

+Warren Ripley yes very much so.

[@warrenripley]

Any one that knows how to handle jewellery of ANY kind should know to use white gloves so not to get finger prints all over the stones which in turn causes them not to sparkle like they should.

[@CallieMasters5000]

Maybe they're the Queen's fingerprints!!! You try telling her what to do!

[@Useraccountunknown]

Warren Ripley I would touch all those diamonds aswel if I had that chance.

[@thebitchinthecorner2252]

They should wear latex or plastic gloves white cotton could catch on the fragile mounts and damage the metalwork.

Thankyou so much for this! I attended the exhibition last week, so nice to have this "souvenir." I just loved the Coronation necklace, it was alive with rainbows!

[@babyjohn5498]

What a beautiful song that plays at the background. We really need to know its name, please.

[@Tenorgeiger]

It’s just a generic piece of “muzak” of the simplest kind which someone churned out one afternoon and didn’t bother to name. It’s nothing really.

[@scarletfluerr]

Isn't it funny how we place importance on diamonds which are, in reality, extremely common. The only reason they have such value it's because they are withheld by others. If I had my choice I'd rather have colored stones, rubies emeralds Sapphires and such than diamonds.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

They are not common. You cannot simply find gem quality diamonds laying around on a walk in the park. Understand gem quality, and garbage quality.

[@AndySaenz]

But these are royal diamonds.

[@leifruckwardt9990]

...I agree deeply that stones of this size and colour are very rare. Try to understand, that even if you have some nice rough diamonds, you can even dispoil them by giving them a bad diamond cut. The visual beauty you can see and enjoy by watching the sparkle of a diamond is the result of a very good cut and polish. So you have the so called 4 c's which all have to work properly together: The cut, carat, clarity and colour. Those shown pieces have a good cut, definetely high carats, a sensational clarity and color. All these caracteristics make them to a big rarity. Don't forget, many of the shown pieces have been cut and polished in a time without high tech mashines or computers. Rubies, emeralds and sapphires are fine gems as well, but nothing is as durable and at the same time sparkling than a well cut diamond with a high light performance.

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

Myself, I'm particularly fond of amber, and pearls. 😉😍 A "white" or nearly colorless stone goes with everything, though... one avoids being criticized like the crown princess of Denmark, for wearing her ruby parure with an _orange_ dress. 😉

[@cecilyerker]

Oh my god bitch you're not special, every other fucking comment about diamonds is along the lines of this drivel. THESE DIAMONDS ARE EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE AND RARE AND THEIR VALUE REFLECT THAT! Of course the majority of black and brown gravel looking diamonds aren't valuable in jewelry, no shit!

[@Olokunful]

But for some reason people look down rappers or other celebrities that wear a lot of "bling". It's been a thing for centuries. I do love the way the collection is displayed. It brings all the focus to the pieces. Really extraordinary.

Victoria's crown has a very small circumference. She wore her hair in a bun on top her head and the crown over it. Being part of the Crown jewels, no one has the right to wear it but Elizabeth, unless on loan, but her respect for Victoria prohibits that.

[@siouxbanshee2427]

Why don't we understand that attacking and ruling other places were common. A hell common. And the jewels were found by Britisher only so they took what the found. And others like were gifted they were stolen by someone else and the people who stoled were mostly Indian. And giving gift to your empress isn't a bad thing at all. And those so called DESHBHAKTS who are crying in the comment section does they even know what's the condition of our country even after that much years of Independence. The Countries like Japan who got independence even after us are so advanced and clean. So just shut up your mouth crying about what's gone and have focus on what we have and can do now.
