Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
On Wednesday, the Queen of the Netherlands learned about training programs for future chefs and restauranteurs in Houten, wearing a pair of intriguing statement earrings for the visit.
Today in the Netherlands, Princess Beatrix—the former monarch and mother of the present King—celebrates her birthday. In her honor, I’ve got a bejeweled flashback to one of the most glittering moments of her early reign: a stunning diamond and sapphire appearance at the Guildhall during her 1982 state visit to Britain.
We’re slinking into a new week with a look at a fascinating piece of jewelry worn recently by Queen Máxima: a slithery serpent brooch!
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.
