We’ve got one more piece of heart-shaped royal jewelry to discuss before we close the Valentine month of February: a golden necklace worn by Princess Sofia of Sweden during one of her first royal duties after returning from maternity leave.

Today in Stockholm, the Swedish royal family will say farewell to the King’s sister, Princess Désirée, during a private funeral at the Royal Palace. In her honor, we’re looking today at her final public tiara appearance, which featured a special jewel that had been part of her collection for more than half a century.

The extended European royal family suffered yet another loss this week, when Princess Désirée, an elder sister of the King of Sweden, passed away at the age of 87. In her honor, we’re taking a look at a memorable tiara appearance from a family royal wedding in 2013.

New portraits of the King and Queen of Sweden in full gala splendor were released last week, along with details of a pair of special royal celebrations coming to Stockholm in 2026.

Merry Christmas, everyone! No matter how you celebrate, I hope this day brings you peace and joy. And how about a little extra cheer, courtesy of the Christmas jewels recently worn by Queen Silvia (and an appearance from her adorable grandchildren)?
