Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
The holiday season is upon us, and we’ve been blessed with a truly spectacular roster of tiara events for the start of December. Today, here’s a look at some of the sparkle we can anticipate over the next two weeks!
Ninety years ago today, the British and Greek royal families gathered in London for the wedding of a prince and a princess. The Duke of Kent, the youngest surviving son of King George V and Queen Mary, wed Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark in a pair of sparkling ceremonies on November 29, 1934. In honor of the anniversary, I’ve got a closer look at some of Marina’s gorgeous wedding gift jewels—including a discussion of where some of the pieces are today.
Last week, a little piece of royal history was sold at auction in England: a sapphire and emerald ring once owned by Princess Margaret that also apparently had ties to another royal relative, the Marquess of Cambridge.
When the Princess of Wales began making a return to the public spotlight this autumn, she chose to wear a pair of favorite Catherine Zoraida earrings from her jewelry box. Recently, People shared a fascinating interview with the jeweler—and revealed that there’s another unseen Zoraida piece waiting to be worn by Kate.
This week, the Duchess of Edinburgh learned about progress toward preserving and restoring sight—and she gave us a sparkling glimpse of her classic royal engagement ring in the process.
