The Crown Jewels

During our drawing class we were given a small brief to bring in and draw something of sentimental value to us. When I heard these words, my mind went instantly to my Gran's Crown Jewels. At the risk of sounding like an X-factor contestant, I'll try to keep this short and sweet. My gran had a great love for jewellery which was unbeknown to me as a little girl, it wasn't until after she died and I had inherited these jewels that I discovered this. Her favourite colour was red and this particular set of jewels became her pride and glory. Despite the fact that they are only dimante, they gave my Gran a little bit more glamour to an already glamourous lady.
