For a woman with perhaps the greatest personal collection of jewels in the world, none are so valuable to the Queen as those given to her by her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh
Although they had met briefly at family events in the 1930s, the first significant meeting between Prince Philip and Princess Elizabeth took place in the summer of 1939, when a 13-year-old Elizabeth joined her parents on a visit to Britannia Royal Naval College where 18-year-old Philip was a cadet. At the time Philip only saw her as a young girl, but for Elizabeth it was love at first sight.
By Elizabeth and Philip’s fifth wedding anniversary in 1952, their lives had dramatically changed. They were now parents to Charles , and Anne . King George VI had died in February of that year, and Elizabeth was now Queen. Philip gave up his career in the Royal Navy in order to support the Queen full time.
To mark their anniversary, Philip designed this gold bracelet which he commissioned Boucheron to create. The bracelet features Philip’s Naval badge in diamonds surrounded by two sapphire crosses, perhaps representing the Greek flag. A ruby cross, perhaps representing the flag of England, is flanked by two roses of York symbolising the Queen’s first title as Princess Elizabeth of York. All of these symbols are connected by gold links in the shape of interlocking Es and Ps.
