Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
This weekend, members of European royal families gathered in Turin for the funeral of Vittorio Emanuele di Savoia, the son of the last King and Queen of Italy. As with most royal moments of memorial and remembrance, lovely jewelry set with pearls and diamonds was worn for the service.
On Saturday, the only son of the last King and Queen of Italy passed away, leaving behind a complicated royal legacy and a fabulous, innovative royal tiara.
Over the last few weeks, the descendants of Italy’s last king have renewed their efforts to reclaim a collection of hidden royal jewels. The jewelry, which has been locked away in an Italian bank since 1946, belonged to the last royal rulers of the country. Today, we’re talking about the reclamation efforts, and discussing the jewels that are at stake.
