Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
On Monday, we chronicled a moment of mourning and remembrance for the former royal family of Greece. Today, we meet them (and their jewels!) in a happier moment: a family dinner with their Spanish royal relatives in Palma de Mallorca.
At the end of July, the royal world lost one of its most colorful figures: Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark, the writer and historian who occupied a unique place at the intersection of several European royal families. Today, we’ve got a look at the way that his royal relatives remembered him at his funeral in Athens, including the lovely pearls and diamonds they wore to pay tribute to their husband, father, and cousin.
Today, Princess Alexia of Greece and Denmark–daughter of the last Greek king and niece of the former Queens of Denmark and Spain–celebrates her birthday. In her honor, we’ve got a look today at an heirloom piece of royal jewelry that she has worn often for gala occasions.
Earlier today, royals from across Europe gathered in Windsor for a service celebrating the life of the last King of Greece, and there were some special pieces of jewelry on display for the occasion.
Amethysts are the special birthstones of February babies, but they’re also frequently employed as a stone for occasions of memorial or remembrance. With a big royal memorial in honor of the late King Constantine II coming up later this week, we’ve got a look today at an heirloom amethyst pendant worn by his wife and daughters.
