Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
The long-awaited state visit from Japan to Britain took place this summer after years of delay. The fourth spot on our countdown of the best royal jewelry moments of the year goes to Empress Masako, who made her first appearance in a special imperial tiara at the state banquet.
My article today at Hidden Gems is devoted to the life, loves, and tiaras of Japan’s Princess Mikasa, who died this month at the remarkable age of 101. To continue the theme, I’ve got a collection of articles here today dedicated to the jewels of the Japanese imperial family.
One more jewelry highlight moment from this week’s Japanese state visit to Britain: a special bejeweled brooch chosen by Queen Camilla to pay tribute to Empress Masako during the official farewell ceremony.
