Do you know the origin of this triple-strand pearl necklace, which is most often worn during official duties?

Are pearls a royal tradition?

Although it has now become a royal family tradition, it began with Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth's great-great-grandmother. She loved pearls, and at the time pearls were quite rare in Europe, so when making pearl jewelry, she would deliberately use diamonds with a darker luster to make the pearls stand out.

Queen Victoria, a fashion leader at the time, would give her daughters and granddaughters one of these precious and mysterious pearls every year on their birthdays. This way, they would have just enough time to make a pearl necklace for their 18th birthday. According to her, pearls go with any outfit, making them the perfect jewelry for a mature woman.

The tradition was later carried on by the royal family, and Queen Elizabeth is no exception.

Queen Elizabeth's father, King George VI, was said to have been very fond of Princess Elizabeth when she was a child, and would give her two pearls every year for her birthday.

Princess Elizabeth

In 1935, for the Silver Jubilee of King George V (grandfather of Queen Elizabeth), he gave a triple-strand pearl necklace to Princess Elizabeth, who was 9 years old at the time, and a double-strand pearl necklace to Princess Margaret.

Royal family
Her father, King George VI, gifted Queen Elizabeth with a platinum chain necklace that could be fashioned into a triple pearl necklace.

As such, the triple-strand pearl necklace, a gift from her grandfather, King George V, and her father, King George VI, was a special piece of jewelry for Queen Elizabeth.

In fact, the triple pearl necklace she always wears was made from a chain given to her by her father, King George VI, and pearls given to her every year, so it also represents a deep bond between father and daughter.
