Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Today officially marks the centenary of the birth of Queen Elizabeth II. I’ve been celebrating the forthcoming anniversary here at The Court Jeweller and on Hidden Gems all year so far, and today I’m sharing a digest of that content, plus a look at the glamorous ensemble that opens the new Royal Collection exhibition, Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style.
This week is chock-full of milestone royal anniversaries. While the Brits celebrate the late Queen’s 100th, the Grimaldis in Monaco are marking a special moment of their own—the 70th anniversary of the wedding of Prince Rainier III and Grace Kelly—with a special exhibition at the Palais Princier.
It just feels right to wrap up our series on the late Queen’s style with a look at all the jewelry included in the big new Buckingham Palace show, doesn’t it? I’m back from seeing Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style in London, and I’ve got all the details on every piece of jewelry showcased in the incredible exhibition.
Our journey through decades of fashion and jewels worn by Queen Elizabeth II winds up today in 2017, when she hosted one of the last glittering state banquets of her reign, welcoming the King and Queen of Spain to Buckingham Palace.
