Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
On Thursday, the Prince and Princess of Wales made their return to royal duties after their summer holidays, with Catherine wearing a favorite pair of earrings for a visit to the Natural History Museum in London.
September is the month for sapphires, and we’re beginning our celebration of the royal blue gemstone with a look at a sentimental sapphire bracelet, made by Cartier, that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II.
August is the month for marveling at the grassy-green peridot, a semi-precious gemstone that I personally love quite a lot. Today, let’s take a closer look at a magnificent peridot and diamond demi-parure currently on display in London as part of the Cartier exhibition at the V&A.
On Thursday, Queen Camilla took a break from Balmoral for a day at York Racecourse, where she wore an Edwardian equestrian brooch with some of her favorite diamonds and pearls.
Today is the 95th anniversary of the birth of Princess Margaret, the younger daughter of King George VI and the only sister of Queen Elizabeth II. In her honor, we’re devoting today’s space to a special tiara appearance from 1958, celebrating a successful Commonwealth tour.
