Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Today, we’ve got a look at a tiara that also belonged to a very important French royal woman from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries: the diamond and emerald tiara that belonged to the Duchess of Angoulême.
Last week we talked about a petite brooch from the Queen’s jewelry box. Today, we’ve got a closer look at one of the biggest of all: the Queen Mother’s Cartier Lily Brooch.
Queen Mary’s jewelry collection was unparalleled, with examples to suit every location and situation. Today’s piece, her diamond thistle brooch, was especially well suited for the family’s annual residence at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
