Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World

On Monday, royals from across Europe joined survivors, dignitaries, and heads of state and government on the site of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland to reflect and remember on the 80th anniversary of the camp’s liberation.

We recently marveled at some red carpet-worthy opals, and today I’ve got a recent example of a royal opal brooch outing. Queen Maxima opted for a special heirloom opal brooch as she celebrated an award-winning Dutch business in Dinteloord.

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.
