Our Sparkling Spotlight survey of tiaras worn to the Royal Variety Performance arrives in the Swinging ’60s today, with one of the Queen’s early appearances in her own sapphire tiara.

Our Sparkling Spotlight on tiaras worn to the Royal Variety Performance continues today with a look at the royal jewels worn for the event back in 1954.

Last week, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made a glamorous appearance at the Royal Variety Performance in London. But while Kate sparkled beautifully in a green sequinned gown and gold earrings, many of us always long for the days when this was a tiara occasion!

Our weeklong celebration of the princely jewels of the Grimaldis wraps up this afternoon with a gorgeous glittering Rose Ball appearance from one of the best jewelry-wearers of the next generation of the family: Beatrice Borromeo Casiraghi.

The current Princess of Monaco, Charlene Wittstock, received a jewelry haul fit for a modern royal woman when she married Prince Albert II in the summer of 2011. For a gala shortly after the wedding, she wore one of her new tiaras—but in a very different form.
