Start your own collection of Crown Jewels, beginning with this uniquely Canadian brooch.
A gift from the people of Canada, the exquisite Sapphire Jubilee Snowflake Brooch was presented to Queen Elizabeth II in 2017 to mark the 150th anniversary of Canadian confederation and the 65th anniversary of her reign—her Sapphire Jubilee as Queen of Canada.
A one-of-a-kind brooch inspired by a snowflake as a representation of the Canadian Arctic is the first bejewelled piece to be showcased in our exciting new Crown Jewels series. On this 99.99% pure gold coin, the engraved representation of the Canadian royal brooch is plated with platinum for that winter-white shine, and set with eight sparkling royal-blue sapphires.
First in a series of precious Crown Jewels.

DID YOU KNOW?
Then-Governor General David Johnston presented the Sapphire Jubilee Snowflake Brooch to Queen Elizabeth II during a visit to Canada House in London on July 19, 2017. Designed by Saskatchewan-based jeweller Hillberg and Berk, the brooch was crafted in 18-karat Canadian white gold. It is set with more than 400 diamonds (totalling 4.39 carats) from northern Canada, and 48 Canadian beluga sapphires (totalling 10.19 carats) that were part of a cache discovered in 2002 on Baffin Island.
The coin’s reverse features an interpretation of the Sapphire Jubilee Snowflake Brooch—a gift from the people of Canada to Queen Elizabeth II in 2017 to mark the 65th anniversary of her reign. Plated with platinum, the engraved snowflake shape is adorned with eight blue sapphire gemstones (four round and four oval) that surround the centre. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.
