Queen Mary’s Love Trophy Collar was made in March 1901 for the future Queen Mary when she was Duchess of Cornwall and York.

The collar is “formed of seven brilliant-set panels, each with an amatory trophy of bow, quiver and torch in a laurel-wreath oval suspended from a ribbon-tie, framed by foliate brilliant-set bands.”1

The diamonds came from stars and diamond star earrings, which had been given by the Duchess of Cambridge, Queen Mary’s grandmother, in 1885 and from a floral spray given by her aunt Augusta, the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, also in 1885.

The collar was given to the future Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and it was inherited by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002.
