Queen Adelaide’s Brooch which we knew previousy as the William IV dates from1831 is included in the QD. The brooch was made as a clasp for a large pearl necklace for Queen Adelaide by Rundell, Bridge & Co and was probably worn at her coronation. The brooch has been worn by every Queen since then and is an heirloom of the Crown. Edit: The brooch was ordered in 1830 by William IV and delivered in 1831. --Previous Message-- : Thank you very much, Carlo, Nellie and Boffer! : The Duchess of Teck Flower Brooch and Prince : Albert's gift to his wife [the : Sapphire/Diamond brooch] are among the : oldest brooches in the Royal Collection. Is : there any other oldest brooch still existing : in the collection? Did previous queens leave : any (like Queen Charlotte or Queen : Adelaide)?
