Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Yesterday marked the 51st anniversary of the death of King Gustav VI Adolf of Sweden and the accession of his grandson, King Carl XVI Gustaf. In honor of the King’s accession day, we’ve got a closer look at the unique collection of crowns owned–but not worn–by members of the Swedish royal family.
The Bernadottes gathered in Stockholm on Tuesday for the start of the year’s parliamentary session, wearing their traditional diamond and pearl jewelry–and for the first time in many years, they were joined by Princess Madeleine and Christopher O’Neill.
One of my favorite things about royal jewelry is the watching the same women style the same pieces in different ways across the decades. Today, to celebrate the upcoming birthday of Sweden’s Princess Christina, I’ve got a look at some of the ways she’s worn the family’s Diamond Four Button Tiara over half a sparkling century.
