Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Last week, the King and Queen of the Belgians headed to Bruges for an event connected to the late King Baudouin, and Queen Mathilde wore sentimental earrings from the late Queen Fabiola’s collection for the occasion.
Sotheby’s announced this week that they’ll soon be auctioning off a remarkable diamond necklace from the Georgian period–and they’ve hinted that there are possible connections to the doomed French queen, Marie Antoinette, and the famous Affair of the Diamond Necklace.
