GREAT VINE Planted in 1768, The Great Vine is the world’s largest grapevine. Now over 250 years old, it remains a celebrated feature of the gardens at Hampton Court Palace and still produces hundreds of kilograms of grapes each year. The ‘Great Vine’ suite takes its inspiration from this remarkable living landmark, featuring gold leaf motifs alongside peridots, garnets, pink tourmalines and diamonds. #BoodlesHighJewellery #ThePalaceCollection #HistoricRoyalPalaces

RAVEN'S WATCH This suite is inspired by the shape of the feathers and the symbolism of the ravens at the Tower of London. Gaze at Jubilee, Chaos or Georgie – three of the Tower's eight corvids – and you'll see a spectrum of colour in their feathers. Dark rhodium has been incorporated into the setting to reflect the deep blue hues of their plumage, capturing their mysterious presence. #BoodlesHighJewellery #ThePalaceCollection #HistoricRoyalPalaces
