Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World

The Olympic sparkle continued in Paris on Friday, as royals from across Europe attended the grand opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Games along the Seine in Paris.

Luminaries from around the globe have converged on Paris, where the 2024 Summer Olympic Games kicked off on Friday with a sparkling opening ceremony on the Seine. On the eve of that celebration, many familiar royal faces were in attendance at a glittering gala at the Louvre Museum.

Queen Maxima was out and about last week, wearing a new suite of statement jewelry, plus a pair of pieces that have been in her collection for many years.

Let’s wrap up our work week in one of the best ways possible: with a Habsburg wedding tiara! Thanks to our generous friend Stefan, we can take a closer look at the bridal tiara worn by Countess Leonie von Waldburg-Zeil, as well as some jewelry worn by two particularly familiar royal wedding guests. (Hint, hint: think Orange.)

We’ve been laser-focused here lately on the jewels of Royal June in Britain, but in the meantime, the other monarchies of the world have been soldiering on with their usual engagements as well. Let’s play a little catch-up, starting today with jewels worn in the Netherlands for a visit from the Emir of Qatar.
