Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
This week, we’re devoting our Sparkling Spotlight posts to bejeweled flashbacks to gorgeous gala appearances in Februarys past. We’re starting things off with a fabulous tiara moment from Queen Elizabeth II in February 1965.
The Gilded Age, the new show from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, has been dinged recently for using jewels in their costuming that aren’t period appropriate. But that’s okay—we’ve got a look at the real deal here at The Court Jeweller! Our series on Gilded Age jewels continues today with a spectacular Cartier tiara that belonged to an American countess.
The Queen’s jewelry collection includes numerous pairs of impressive diamond earrings. Today, we’re turning our attention to her Antique Girandole Earrings, which are a bit of a royal jewel mystery.
