Provenance
Carrington & Co established by John Bodman Carrington were awarded the Royal Warrant by Queen Victoria and later attained the warrants of Prince Albert, Edward VII and George V, as well as Empress Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra of Russia. In 1911 they mounted the famous Cullinan diamonds numbers III and IV into a jewel for Queen Mary. This jewel was a favourite of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who dubbed it ‘Granny’s chips’.
