For the first time in several years, New Year tiaras are back in Toyko! Here’s a look at the glittering jewels worn by the Empress of Japan and the imperial princesses for this year’s New Year reception.
Yesterday, Princess Aiko of Japan celebrated her birthday—which gives us an excellent opportunity for an updated conversation about the tiara and jewels she will (or won’t!) eventually receive to wear for gala occasions.
Today, Empress Michiko, the Empress Emerita of Japan, celebrates her 89th birthday. To mark the occasion, we’re traveling in our bejeweled time machine back to October 2014, when she wore major state visit diamonds in Tokyo.
