Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Today, our Tiara Time Machine is stopping in 1986, when the Prince and Princess of Wales headed to the Middle East for a tour through several nations. In Bahrain, Diana wore her family tiara with a classic ivory gown.
The British royals have been popping in often at the Commonwealth Games in Scotland in recent days, and on Saturday, two bejeweled royal duchesses were among the spectators at a pair of events.
Yet another fabulous jewel with significant provenance has popped up in the showroom of M.S. Rau in New Orleans, and this time, the piece is linked to an aristocrat from one of Britain’s most famous (and infamous) families.
The Princess Royal has a personal jewelry collection larger than that of some small monarchies, and last week in Northern Ireland, she wore a brooch that appears to be a new addition to her jewelry box.
The finale of Ruby Tiara Celebration Week doubles as a birthstone-appropriate birthday tribute. Queen Camilla, who turns 79 today, has embraced her mother-in-law’s ruby and diamond tiara, including a memorable appearance during the Japanese state visit two years ago.
