The Character Arc
Wear a piece of the 20th century's greatest, most scandalous love story. This is a rare, pristine brooch from the official "Duchess of Windsor Collection," exclusively created by the legendary London department store, Harrods.
In 1987, the world watched as the breathtaking jewelry collection of Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor—the woman for whom a king gave up his throne—was auctioned at Sotheby's. Harrods was then granted the exclusive right to recreate these iconic pieces.
This 'WW' (for Wallis Windsor) monogram brooch is one of the most famous and sought-after designs from that collection, lavishly paved with brilliant, clear crystals. It was the kind of piece a woman buys not for a man, but for herself. A reward for a small victory, a quiet celebration of her own worth. It’s a reminder that every woman deserves to be seen, to be celebrated, and to wear her own crown, even if it's one she places on her own head.
