Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
How could it be anything else? My best royal jewelry moment of 2025 was Queen Victoria’s Indian Circlet emerging from the vaults on the Princess of Wales at the German state banquet.
The biggest royal jewelry story of the year was an unhappy one—the heist at the Louvre—but thankfully we also had a royal jewelry moment that involved the surprise return of a famous diamond, too. The penultimate spot on my countdown of the best moments of 2025 belongs to the revelation that the Florentine Diamond is safe in Canada.
Since her husband’s accession, Queen Mary of Denmark has proved to be an innovative custodian of the nation’s crown jewel collection. The third spot on my countdown of the best royal jewelry moments of 2025 goes to her debut in an unusual antique tiara from the vaults.
