#7: Queen Alexandra’s Wedding Necklace

Worn by: Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge

Owned since: 1863

Estimated value: $1.6 million*

In 1863, Prince Albert wanted to impress his bride, Princess Alexandra of Denmark. So, he splurged £13,680 on this amazing jewelry set, including a diamond necklace, brooch, and earrings. In today’s money, that’s like a crazy $1.6 million!

The necklace was passed down to the Queen Mother, who loved wearing it until she passed away in 2002. It was then kept super safe until the Duchess of Cambridge wore it to a fancy dinner in 2018. You wouldn’t find this bling at just any old jewelry store!
