On Wednesday, the royal family said in a tweet that the Duke of Edinburgh "always had an interest in design." He not only oversaw the design and construction of the Royal Yacht Britannia, according to the royal family, but also created a bracelet for his the Queen as a wedding present.
The diamond cuff featured stones from a tiara owned by his mother, according to the tweet.
The Queen has worn the cuff to various royal events and in some portrait images.
In more recent years, the accessory has seemingly been passed over to Kate Middleton. She wore the bracelet on her left wrist during her first state banquet in October 2015.
Popsugar previously reported she paired the cuff with diamond drop earrings and the Lotus Flower tiara at the time.
Philip died at the age of 99 on Friday. In a statement obtained by Insider, Buckingham Palace said he "passed away peacefully" at Windsor Castle.
Insider's Mikhaila Friel reported at the time he was hospitalized earlier this year at King Edward VII's Hospital in London for four weeks.
