Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
This week’s Tiara Thursday post introduces a new feature on the website! The Bejeweled Battle is a contest that asks a simple royal jewelry question: which royal lady wore it better? We’re kicking things off with a set of modern diamonds and amethysts, worn by two Norwegian princesses for royal weddings in Sweden.
Princess Astrid, the vibrant older sister of the King of Norway, celebrates her 91st birthday today. To join in the festivities, we’ve got a look today at one of her most interesting tiaras: a double aigrette that has been in the royal family’s collection for more than a century.
Our royal birthday season continues with Princess Ingrid Alexandra, the future Queen of Norway, who celebrates her 19th birthday today! The future monarch made a splashy tiara debut last year, and she’ll be one of Europe’s reliable tiara-wearers for years to come. Today, let’s have a look at some of the candidates for her next royal tiara appearances.
