Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World

Today in London, the British royal family began a week-long commemoration of the 80th anniversary of VE Day, honoring veterans with a military procession, fly past, and tea party at Buckingham Palace.

This week, the British royal family will join people across Europe in celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the end of World War II in Europe in May 1945. A hidden piece of VE Day history is currently sparkling in another corner of London, ready to be discovered by those visiting the Cartier exhibition at the V&A.

Today over at Hidden Gems, I shared the first article in a multi-part series travel diary about my recent jewelry-focused trip to London. The article covers my experience seeing Cartier, the new exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum. As a bonus today, I’ve got a roundup of earlier articles about several of the royal and noble tiaras featured in the exhibition. Enjoy!
