Start your own collection of Crown Jewels, beginning with this uniquely Canadian brooch.
A gift from the people of Canada, the exquisite Sapphire Jubilee Snowflake Brooch was presented to Queen Elizabeth II in 2017 to mark the 150th anniversary of Canadian confederation and the 65th anniversary of her reign—her Sapphire Jubilee as Queen of Canada.
A one-of-a-kind brooch inspired by a snowflake as a representation of the Canadian Arctic is the first bejewelled piece to be showcased in our exciting new Crown Jewels series. On this 99.99% pure gold coin, the engraved representation of the Canadian royal brooch is plated with platinum for that winter-white shine, and set with eight sparkling royal-blue sapphires.
First in a series of precious Crown Jewels.
