The Dutch royal vaults are teeming with spectacular jewels, but perhaps one of the grandest pieces of all is the nineteenth-century diamond and sapphire tiara made for Queen Emma.
The Dutch Sapphire Parure Tiara
The Pearl Poire Tiara
Denmark is perhaps one of the most tiara-rich countries in Europe, but even among their large cache of sparklers, a few tiaras stand out as particularly historically important. One of these, the Pearl Poiré Tiara, highlights the maternal heritage of the country’s monarch.
The Dutch Star Tiara
The year is 2002, and Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti is preparing to marry the heir to the Dutch throne. If you’re a royal bride, you can play the wedding tiara game a few ways: you can opt for a safe choice (like the Duchess of Cambridge), you can wear an heirloom tiara (like Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden), you can go for no tiara at all (never something I’d personally advise), or you can go big.
Máxima, being Máxima, went for major sparkle.
Royal Jewels to Commemorate the 70th Anniversary of D-Day in France
At the end of this week, fresh off the State Opening of Parliament, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, and several other members of the royal family headed to France for a state visit. The visit was planned to coincide with the commemorations of the 70th anniversary of D-Day on Friday, and much of the program was related to events related to the anniversary and to honoring veterans of World War II. Today, I’ve got a look at some of the royal jewels we saw in Normandy during the D-Day commemorations.
