The Jubilee Necklace of Queen Victoria

This necklace was created in honor of Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887. The "Women of the British Empire" came together and each donated a penny and even up to a pound to commemorate Victoria's fifty years. An equestrian statue of Prince Albert was commissioned with the money first, and then everything that was left went to the creation of this necklace. Albert, even in death, would be the Queen's top priority.
