Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Our tribute to the tiaras of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother continues today with a look at a rare outing from a necklace-turned-tiara. Here’s a closer look at Elizabeth wearing the Teck Hoop Necklace Tiara just after the end of World War II.
This weekend, the Queen delivered a powerful message about the central part that a supportive and dedicated consort plays in a successful reign. With that in mind, we’re devoting this week’s Sparkling Spotlight posts to tiaras worn by Queen Elizabeth, later the Queen Mother, during the reign of her husband, King George VI.
The Queen’s jewelry box contains numerous pieces of jewelry gifted by friends and relatives. Today, on the day of her accession, it seems particularly appropriate to discuss a set of beautiful diamond and sapphire jewels given to the Queen by someone very important indeed: her father, King George VI of the United Kingdom.
Surprise! In honor of the Queen’s major milestone achievement this weekend—70 years on the British throne—we’re continuing our bejeweled survey of her dazzling decades this weekend with bonus Sparkling Spotlight posts. Today, we’ve arrived in the 2000s, with a grand appearance of the Queen’s Brazilian Aquamarines.
