Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Last week, the Danish royals held their annual New Year’s Levee at Amalienborg, a glittering event teeming with tiaras, orders and decorations, uniforms, and glamorous gowns. And, delightfully, this year also brought us Queen Mary’s first public appearance in the grand emerald parure from the crown jewel collection!
When the Queen of Denmark steps out for gala events, she’s often wearing pieces from a spectacular suite of ruby and diamond jewelry. The remarkable ruby jewels have an impressive history that begins in imperial France and continues today in royal Denmark. Today, we’ve got a look back at the journey of the jewels from Paris to Copenhagen, and an overview of each of the glittering pieces in the evolving parure.
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you’ve been having a wonderful holiday celebration season, and you’re refreshed and ready for 2025. The royals will be back in the swing of things shortly, and I’ve got a preview today of some of the sparkle we can expect over the course of the coming year.
