#6: “Granny Chips” Brooch

Worn by: Queen Elizabeth II

Owned since: 1905

Estimated value: $50 million*

Imagine owning a piece of jewelry worth a staggering $50 million! It’s hard to believe, even for Queen Elizabeth II. But this brooch isn’t just any brooch; it’s special. It’s made from cuttings of the Cullinan Diamond found in 1905, making it super rare.

After King Edward VII had the diamond cut into a massive 94.4-carat stone, he gave it to his wife. Then, Queen Mary passed it on to Queen Elizabeth, who affectionately called it the “Granny’s Chips” Brooch. For most Brits, “Granny’s Chips” means dinner, not a crazy expensive diamond.
