Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World

The tenth of December is always a special day for tiaras, but this year we got a little sparkling bonus: a state banquet in Amsterdam! Here’s a look at the royal jewels that Queen Maxima and Princess Amalia wore to host the President of Portugal.

The holiday season is upon us, and we’ve been blessed with a truly spectacular roster of tiara events for the start of December. Today, here’s a look at some of the sparkle we can anticipate over the next two weeks!

Today at Hidden Gems, I shared an extensive write-up on the jewels and the drama surrounding the engagement of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde in Belgium a quarter of a century ago. As a bonus, I’ve got a roundup of royal engagement ring content from the flurry of announcements from reigning monarchs in the years that followed immediately after Philippe and Mathilde’s engagement. Enjoy!
