Victoria, Duchess of Kent (1786-1861)

Ordered by Prince Albert as a Christmas gift for Queen Victoria in 1861 but presented to her by Princess Alice on 1st January 1862.

This was one of a group of jewels placed in the ‘Albert Room’ at Windsor Castle after the Queen's death in 1901. This was the room in which Prince Albert had died in 1861 and the Queen left instructions for a specific list of personal jewellery to be placed there and not passed on in the family.
