Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World

The British royals have been in sport mode recently, watching lots of the action at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Here’s a look at some of the jewelry pieces we’ve seen at the competitions over the past week.

Earlier this summer, Sotheby’s in London mounted a truly special exhibition of tiaras, featuring royal and aristocratic pieces alongside more modern examples. Several of our lucky readers were able to visit the exhibition and see the tiaras in person, and today, I’m honored to share some photos taken by our lovely reader Phyllis!

Today is the anniversary of the Spencer Tiara’s greatest moment in the spotlight, so it seems like an appropriate time to treat ourselves to some gorgeous close-ups of the sparkler!
