Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden had a jewelry box full of lovely and classic tiaras, necklaces, and brooches—and some more unusual pieces, too. Today’s jewel, her scarab necklace, is an antique piece that falls into both categories.
It’s Friday, which means it’s time for another guest post from a bejeweled friend of the site! Today, we’ve got a real treat: a discussion of possible bridal tiaras for Princess Alexandra of Luxembourg, written by none other than Svenja, one of the minds behind the former Luxarazzi blog and the current writer at Confessions of a Castleholic! Enjoy!
This year, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden celebrates his Golden Jubilee, so we’ll have plenty of opportunities to see the Bernadottes sparkling at gala events! We’ll be talking a lot about Swedish royal tiaras this year, and we’re starting off with the history of a particularly glittering antique jewel: the Baden Fringe Tiara.
