Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (or, more properly, the Earl and Countess of Strathearn) were in Scotland for several days of engagements this week, and on Wednesday, Kate debuted another royal jewelry loan from the Queen.
The Queen was back in action recently with a visit to a British naval base, and she brought along an appropriate—and quite sentimental—piece of jewelry for the engagement.
Our birthday tribute series to Queen Mary wraps up today with a look at another stunning piece from her royal jewelry collection: the Cornwall Rose of York Bracelet.
Queen Mary was known for her incredible tiaras, brooches, and necklaces. But her collection also included several pairs of important earrings. Today, on her birthday, we’ve got a closer look at a pair that has become a favorite of the present Queen: the Mackinnon Floret Earrings.
Our journey into the world of Queen Mary’s royal jewels continues today with a look at a piece that marries together two of the greatest caches of gems in the British royal collection: the Cullinan Diamonds and the Cambridge Emeralds. Here’s a closer look at the one-of-a-kind Delhi Durbar Necklace.
