11. The Necklace, Earrings, and Tiara Made of Belgium Sapphire

Wearer: Elizabeth II, the Queen Since 1947, the owner Value Estimate: $1 million Since her wedding day in 1947, Queen Elizabeth II has been the proud owner of the Belgium Sapphire Tiara, Earrings, and Necklace ensemble. The necklace and earrings are particularly poignant because they were given to the Queen by her late father, who was very adored by her.

The name comes from the tiara, which was an extra bonus that the Queen herself bought from Princess Louise of Belgium back in 1963. An incomplete set is unattainable.

12. Brooch with Diamond Monogram

Wearer: Lady Margaret Since 1951, the owner Value Estimate: $200,000 Fans of Netflix's The Crown will be aware that Princess Margaret was the more stylish sister, unencumbered by Elizabeth's restrictions and so slightly more inclined to wear something purely for fun. In 1951, this specific brooch was either commissioned or given as a gift.

Compared to some other pieces we've seen, this one is far more subdued, but that's part of its appeal.
