Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
The press tour for the new Wuthering Heights adaptation has brought us some interesting jewelry moments, including a special Cartier opal appearance on the red carpet in London last week.
October babies are blessed with a unique birthstone: the unusual, colorful opal. In our bonus reading post today, I’ve got a roundup of articles I’ve written about royal opals–stones that have been alternately treasured and feared by their owners over the centuries.
Anyone in need of an aquamarine? March babies, get ready: today in Paris, Sotheby’s will auction off two impressive, luminous aquamarine pendants in a Fine Jewels sale.
Not one, not two, not three, but four royal tiaras are headed to the auction block in a few weeks! Let’s have a look today at the glittering diadems being offered by Sotheby’s in Geneva this November.
One of the coolest aspects of the recent Platinum Jubilee tiara exhibition at Sotheby’s was the ability to see the jewels from lots of different angles, showing off the way that the tiaras are constructed. I’ve got a treat for you today, thanks to one of our lovely readers, Raymond: a unique look at the front and back of some of the tiaras on display! He has so kindly offered to share some of his incredible photographs from the exhibition with us for this article. Enjoy!
