Queen Elizabeth II, who reigned for an extraordinary 70 years until her passing at the age of 96, was a monarch beloved for her grace, dedication, and compassion toward her people. Beyond her service during World War II with the Auxiliary Territorial Service and her efforts to strengthen global diplomacy, she was also admired for her timeless sense of style and her exquisite jewelry collection.
The Story Behind the Bird Paradise Brooch
This remarkable brooch was presented to Queen Elizabeth II in 2012. Crafted in 11K gold and set with 61 brilliant diamonds, the design evokes the elegance of a celestial swan. Valued at around £35,000 (approximately 1.5 million THB), it quickly became one of her most cherished pieces.
What makes this brooch exceptional is its craftsmanship. Every detail — from engraving and carving to the delicate filigree work and diamond setting — was done entirely by hand. The precision and artistry required for such a piece demand only the most skilled jewelers.
A Blend of Cultures and Craftsmanship
The Bird Paradise Brooch reflects Peranakan art, a cultural fusion of Chinese and Malay traditions. This style often incorporates motifs from nature — birds, flowers, and leaves — into intricate jewelry designs.
The brooch itself originates from Singapore, created by renowned designer Thomis Kwan of Foundation Jewellers. Queen Elizabeth II adored it so much that she was seen wearing it on at least 14 public occasions, making it a truly iconic part of her jewelry legacy.
