All the Queen's Most Impressive Earrings

Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were known for their lavish declarations of love, and one of the most impressive sets of jewels in the royal collection comes courtesy of the famous pair. The crown rubies are made up of a necklace, earrings, and brooch, but when they were given to Queen Victoria, they contained her favorite stones — opals. Her daughter-in-law Queen Alexandra inherited them and had them reset with rubies, as she considered opals to be bad luck.
