Many of pieces of the Queen’s jewellery have deep personal and historical connections, including a Cartier necklace made from platinum and 300 diamonds. A post on the official Royal Family Instagram account explained that it was “given to then Princess Elizabeth as a wedding present in 1947 from the Nizam (ruler) of Hyderabad.”
