Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
This weekend, royals from across Europe traveled to Paris to be present for a ceremony marking the reopening of the restored Cathedral of Notre Dame, and two royal consorts sparkled in heirloom family earrings for the occasion.
While we were dazzled by diamonds in Britain and Denmark, the King and Queen of the Belgians held a glittering gala of their own this week, just as they celebrated a major milestone in their marriage.
The holiday season is upon us, and we’ve been blessed with a truly spectacular roster of tiara events for the start of December. Today, here’s a look at some of the sparkle we can anticipate over the next two weeks!
Last week, Belgium’s Queen Mathilde helped to mark an important anniversary at a conference in Brussels, wearing a pair of major—and slightly mysterious—statement earrings that have been in her jewelry box for years.
Today at Hidden Gems, I shared an extensive write-up on the jewels and the drama surrounding the engagement of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde in Belgium a quarter of a century ago. As a bonus, I’ve got a roundup of royal engagement ring content from the flurry of announcements from reigning monarchs in the years that followed immediately after Philippe and Mathilde’s engagement. Enjoy!
