Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
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!
The print and online catalogues for next week’s landmark Bourbon-Parma jewelry auction are officially up, and we’ve finally got more information on a set of jewels I’ve been very curious about: the pearl suite that belonged to Marie Antoinette.
