The late Queen Elizabeth II’s most worn and favourite piece of jewellery, her three-stand pearl necklace which she was rarely pictured without, has been inherited by Princess Anne after her death in September 2022.

The natural pearl necklace was originally gifted to the late Queen by her father, King Georgie VI.

With each pearl being estimated by Diamonds Factory Ireland experts to be worth between £2,000-£3,000, the necklace is estimated to be worth around £800,000-£1,000,000, as well as holding a huge amount of sentimental value.

Whilst Princess Anne has not yet been pictured wearing the pearls, Princess Royal is notable for her love of pearls, so it’s sure that she’ll be pictured wearing them in the near future.

Princess Anne’s favourite turquoise and pearl necklace

Princess Anne also owns other necklaces that previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth II.

Whilst originally gifted to the late Queen by the Pakistani President Ayub Khan during his to-date only Official Visit to Britain since Independence in 1947, the necklace has since become one of Princess Anne’s most worn pieces of jewellery.

When first gifted to the Queen in 1966, the necklace was a traditional South Asian ‘dolada Haar’ two-row turquoise, seed pear and gold necklace. A few years later, it was altered to how we see it today, with the necklace reconfigured into a single row and a separate pair of earrings.

Princess Anne was seen wearing this necklace for the majority of the 1970s and has been seen wearing it since, although the last time was in 2007 for Ladies’ Day.
