Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Queen Elizabeth II’s marriage to the Duke of Edinburgh was one of the most enduring royal relationships in British history, and the celebrations of their 50th and 60th wedding anniversaries in 1997 and 2007 brought out some gorgeous royal jewels.
Twenty-five years after the Queen’s accession to the throne, she celebrated her Silver Jubilee while wearing a remarkable diamond jewel—which she would later also wear for a pair of family weddings.
Of all the important days in the Queen’s life, few were more glittering, more sparkling, than Coronation Day in 1953. One of the jewels she wore that day, the Imperial State Crown, will be visible on the Queen’s coffin over the next several days as well.
