Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
We recently marveled at some red carpet-worthy opals, and today I’ve got a recent example of a royal opal brooch outing. Queen Maxima opted for a special heirloom opal brooch as she celebrated an award-winning Dutch business in Dinteloord.
Today, the Duchess of Edinburgh celebrates her milestone 60th birthday. In her honor, we’re spending some time today with one of her newest suites of jewelry, a demi-parure set with diamonds and royal blue sapphires.
This weekend at Hidden Gems, I’m beginning a new series on the fascinating courtship of Princess Margaret of Connaught, which took place 120 years ago this winter. As bonus reading today, I’ve got a look at some of the spectacular jewels worn by four more British royal granddaughters who had made glittering matches in the years before Margaret: an Empress of Russia, a Queen of Norway, a Queen of Romania, and a Queen of the Hellenes.
