To celebrate the historic milestone – The Queens Platinum Jubilee. We have a limited range of Jewellery sets that are crafted especially for the celebration.
What is the Jubilee?
To begin, a jubilee is the celebration of the life and reign of a British monarch. Her Majesty the Queen is now the longest-reigning Monarch. As a matter of fact the only monarch to be celebrating a Platinum Jubilee. Jubilees are based on years of reign and each big year resembles the following:
- Silver Jubilee: marks 25 years on the throne
- Ruby: 40 years
- Golden Jubilee: 50 years
- Diamond Jubilee: 60 years
- Sapphire Jubilee: 65 years
- Platinum Jubilee: 70 years
Interestingly, the first British monarch to celebrate 50 years on the throne was George III, more than 200 years ago. Celebrated with formal gatherings including fireworks. Queen Victoria was the first monarch to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years on the throne in 1897. The occasion marked by a service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Following on from traditional celebrations many communities. Similarly, people will be coming together for Platinum Jubilee Celebrations within the United Kingdom. These may include Street parties and big Jubilee lunches.
Unique Hallmark
Each design has been hallmarked with the rare Jubilee stamp, making each piece a limited edition and timeless piece of jewellery. The approval process of the mark took place over the last year and involved engineers at Goldsmiths’ Hall refining designs for use by laser, or punches ranging in size from 1mm – 6mm in height.
The above Jubilee hallmark is visible on each item of jewellery. All inspired by the Queens’ 70 years of service within the Sovereign’s Orb.
History Of Royal Hallmarks
In 1934 a mark celebrating the Silver Jubilee of H.M. King George V and H.M. Queen Mary was available to silversmiths for two years between 1934 and 1935.
Its popularity led to further commemorative marks. Firstly for the Coronation of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 and 1954.
Secondly for the Silver Jubilee in 1977. Thirdly the Millennium in 1999 and 2000. And lastly for the Golden Jubilee in 2002 and the Diamond Jubilee in 2012.
Nano Crystal Jewellery Sets
Jubilee Jewellery consists of three styles crafted using coloured nano crystals including Green, Red, and Blue. Featuring a necklace and pair of stud earrings per set, all crafted in sterling silver with a platinum plating.
Each coloured stone is framed by white cubic zirconia. For additional sparkle and contrast to the deep coloured centre stone.
Each necklace design suspends from an extendable curb chain from 16″ – 18″. The chain is created in sterling silver with a platinum plating.
Blue Nano Crystal Necklace And Earrings
Each design resembles Royalty over the years. In particular, the blue crystal best resembles Princess Diana when thinking of the Royal family jewellery. With her incredible blue sapphire halo engagement ring.
Diana picked the sapphire-and-diamond cluster Marguerite ring. Inspired by a sapphire-and-diamond brooch Prince Albert had asked Garrard to create as a present for his future wife, Queen Victoria, in 1840.

Currently, only one set per style is available, making each set more unique. Moreover, each set is £155.00 arriving in a luxurious gift box to be treasured for a lifetime.
