Bold in colour and breathtaking in design, the Jewelled Vault is home to Garrard’s most striking, unique and unusual gemstones. With no two stones and no two designs the same, each Jewelled Vault creation is truly one of a kind work of art. Honouring the innate character and unique qualities that distinguish the world’s most exceptional stones – Royal Blue sapphires, Colombian emeralds, Pigeon’s Blood rubies, Padparadscha sapphires and other rarities – each stone in the Jewelled Vault is selected for its show-stopping beauty. The Jewelled Vault takes its inspiration from a royal style icon, whose love of the best and most beautiful gemstones was legendary. Maria Alexandrovna, the Duchess of Edinburgh, travelled from Russia to England to marry Queen Victoria’s second son, Prince Alfred, in 1874. With her, she brought an incredible collection of jewels, which grew as she commissioned new designs from Garrard.
