Queen’s Visit Renews our National Pride

We loved the coverage of the Queen’s visit celebrating Canada’s 143rd Birthday.  She certainly has a way of affirming our pride in being Canadian, and her red and white ensemble was terrific! Especially that diamond Maple Leaf brooch, a piece originally presented to Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, when she first visited Canada in 1939.

It inspired us so much, we decided to post this maple leaf brooch from our collection; a fabulous 1920’s hand-engraved platinum piece, pave set throughout with 75 single cut diamonds. Wear it to display your national pride…and with that much sparkle, you’ll feel like a queen!
