Design:
A miniature reproduction of the Canadian Maple Leaf brooch is the commanding focal point in this design. It measures 25x25mm with more than 100 individually set, white natural zircons. The brooch is framed by an ornate border by Canadian artist Jan Poynter. It symbolizes the shared history between the United Kingdom and Canada with a repeating pattern of Tudor roses, thistles, shamrocks and maple leaves, each a key botanical element in the Royal Arms of Great Britain, Wales, Northern Ireland and Canada. The iconic five-point Tudor rose, with its inner and outer petals, provides a framework for a traditional Celtic braid treatment that represents the tradition and heritage that are the heart of Canadian settlement and identity. And on the obverse, the effigy of Her MajestyQueen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt engraved on a background of leaves echoing the silhouette of the famous Canadian Maple Leaf Brooch.

• The Canadian Maple Leaf Brooch is a large statement piece that showcases the beauty of the leaf's distinctive shape. It measures 5cm x 5.5cm, andhas brilliant- and baguette-cut diamonds set into a platinum mount. The brooch was made by London's historic Asprey & Company which has a long and established relationship with the Royal Family dating back to the time of Queen Victoria. 
• After the 1939 tour, The Queen continued to wear the Maple Leaf Brooch. It is reputed to have been worn on her hat as she toured bombed areas in Britain during the Second World War.
• Queen Elizabeth II inherited the brooch in 2002 and has worn it to Canada-related events in Britain. The bejewelled maple leaf sparkled against a red dress she wore during her last visit to Canada in 2010. It was also The Queen's brooch of choice for her CANADA 150 portrait (2017).
• Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge, has worn the Canadian Maple Leaf Brooch during two royal visits to Canada. In 2011, she and The Duke of Cambridge toured Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and the Northwest Territories, and in 2016, the royalcouple visited British Columbia and Nunavut. 
• The Queen's personal jewellery is managed separately from the Crown Jewels. It is stored in a secured space (a former air raid shelter) 12m beneath Buckingham Palace. The Queen's collection includes pieces she acquired during her reign or inherited. Some of her favourites are from her grandmother, Queen Mary, and her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria.
