Camilla wears vintage brooch on the cover of Good Housekeeping

Maxwell Stone commented: “It’s wonderful to see Camilla on the front cover of Good Housekeeping and as always, she chose a stunning piece of jewellery to show off.

The Queen Consort accessorised with a golden ballerina brooch that’s set with diamonds, sapphires and rubies. Dating back to the 1940s, the intricate piece was created by one of Camilla’s favourite jewellery brands, Van Cleef and Arpels.

For Camilla to wear the brooch for such an important photograph, it must hold a special place in her heart – even more so as the Queen Consort wore the piece again yesterday at Clarence House, where she as she decorated the Christmas tree and petted reindeers with children’s charities.

It’s difficult to value this piece as the Van Cleef & Arpels ballerina pieces are often unique, but a similar brooch is currently retailing for £72,000 on the brand’s website.“
