Watch The Crown season three for its fictionalised royal drama and fancy fine jewellery

Beloved TV series The Crown has finally returned to our screens with a hotly-anticipated third season.

The newest instalment of the Netflix show documents a turbulent period in British history, between 1964 and 1977 – and the monarchy who dealt with it. Succeeding Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth, Olivia Colman presents a more mature and settled sovereign.

Olivia Colman takes over Claire Foy to play Queen Elizabeth II

As fascinating as the show’s storytelling (sometimes, fiction) is the queen’s glamorous wardrobe and lavish jewellery collections, from her distinctive candy-hued suits and Launer purse to that iconic three-strand pearl necklace.

We particularly love the dazzling emerald-encrusted tiara, which played a crucial role in underscoring her authority. Here’s a selection of five other emerald-hued pieces that bring you Queen-esque impact and elegance.
