Queen Camilla made her Van Cleef & Arpels clip the statement accessory of her look during a visit Monday to the Emmaus Norfolk and Waveney charity in Bungay, England.
She wore an Anna Valentine blue dress with a sharp collar, long sleeves, midi hemline and ornate embroidery at the end of the cuffs and hem of her midi dress by the British couturier - a go-to designer for Queen Camilla.
Along with her blue dress, Queen Camilla accessorized with diamond and pearl drop earrings, her staple assortment of Van Cleef & Arpels bracelets and a butterfly clip from the Lucky Spring collection, which she pinned near the collar.
The Van Cleef & Arpels Lucky Spring butterfly clip retails for $9,350. The piece is crafted in 18-karat gold, lapis lazuli, blue and green agate and white mother-of-pearl. The design includes white florals, green leaves and a butterfly in blue.
Originally debuted in 2021, Van Cleef & Arpels' Lucky Spring collection features a bevy of seasonal motifs from ladybugs to Lily of the Valley buds, delicate foliage and butterflies. Along with the brooch clip, the collection includes a watch, necklace, ring, bracelet and earrings styled with the same decorative elements.
Van Cleef & Arpels designs have long been part of Queen Camilla's jewelry trove. The French luxury jewelry company is responsible for other brooches in Queen Camilla's extensive brooch collection, including a dog clip from the brand's Lucky Animals collection.
Apart from her Van Cleef & Arpels pieces, Queen Camilla also has a bevy of brooches previously worn by the late Queen Elizabeth II. As per other members of the British royal family, Queen Camilla often wears those sentimental pieces during special occasions as a way to pay homage to the long-reigning British monarch.
For Monday's royal engagement, Queen Camilla paid a visit to the Emmaus Norfolk and Waveney charity, which offers a home, work opportunities and support to people experiencing homelessness. The organization is based in Bungay, England, near Suffolk.
