Camilla wears £100k brooch to first public engagement with King Charles III since royal mourning ended

King Charles III and Camilla, Queen consort, visited Dunfermline to mark the former town’s new status as Scotland’s eighth city – their first public engagement together since Queen Elizabeth III died last month.

We couldn’t help but notice that Camilla was wearing an interesting brooch. Fine jewellery experts at Steven Stone have taken a close look and revealed everything you need to know about the eye-catching piece.

I’ve pasted some key info below.

Features a HUGE 35 carat cabochon sapphire centre stone, surrounded by four 10 carat cabochon sapphires

Our experts estimate the brooch to be worth £100,000
Maxwell Stone commented: “Camilla’s brooch is certainly an interesting piece. Not only does it feature a huge 35 carat cobochon sapphire centre stone, but the centre stone is surrounded by four 10 carat cobochon sapphires set in a square arrangement.

A cabochon cut on a sapphire shows the very distinctive raw beauty of the particular crystal. The look is incredibly unique and not like any other type of appearance in a gemstone.

Queen Elizabeth II was renowned for paying homage to the four nations of the UK through her brooches and Camilla’s brooch looks like a historical piece, suggesting that it’s likely to be linked to Scotland – a country which the late monarch had great affection for.

I’d estimate the brooch to be worth approximately £100,000”.
