Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom had an impressive collection of diamond bow brooches, so it was only appropriate that two royal ladies brought out important diamond bows during her memorial and funeral ceremonies. And one of them may have a major British royal connection!
Today, Sheikha Moza of Qatar celebrates her 63rd birthday. In honor of that anniversary, we’re looking back today at the sparkling jewels worn for the Qatari state visit to the United Kingdom in October 2010.
We’re very used to seeing Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom wearing pearls; she dons diamond and pearl earrings and a three-stranded pearl necklace for virtually all of her daytime engagements. She also has numerous sets of pearls suitable for evening use, including today’s suite of diamond and pearl jewelry, given to her by the Emir of Qatar.
