Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
I think it’s safe to say that the pearl has become the signature gem of the Duchess of Cornwall, don’t you? Today, our tribute to June’s birthstone in our Sparkling Spotlight continues with a look at an excellent pearly outing from Camilla back in 2009.
Today marks the 100th birthday of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The late Duke passed away only a few months ago, and tributes to him have been extensive and have continued in the weeks since his death. But today, to celebrate his birthday, I thought we’d take another at one of the most sentimental jewels: the diamond bracelet he offered Queen Elizabeth II as a wedding present.
At the big Danish royal wedding in 2004, royals from around the world were on the guest list—even royals that no longer have thrones. Today, our pearly Sparkling Spotlight shines on Princess Marina of Savoy, the wife of one of the pretenders to the Italian throne.
