Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Last week, a diamond company announced a remarkable discovery found in a mine in Botswana: the second-largest gem-quality diamond ever found on earth, second in size only to the magnificent Cullinan Diamond.
This weekend, Queen Camilla sparkled in antique royal jewels at York Racecourse, including a special brooch that calls back to one of the most triumphant moments in British royal racing history.
Today at Hidden Gems, I’ve published the second of two articles about the jewelry secrets revealed in the recently-unsealed will of Prince Francis of Teck, who was a younger brother of Queen Mary. For those interested in more about the jewels mentioned in the will, as well as about the Teck family and their jewelry during the same period, I’ve got a roundup of bonus articles for you to enjoy today.
Oh, and PS: thanks to everyone for your good health wishes this week! I was so touched to read them. Thankfully the entire family is on the mend!
