Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World

Queen Letizia sparkled in Madrid last week for a special new museum gallery opening, showcasing Spain’s royal treasures.

When most people write about the grand British royal wedding of July 1981, the focus is naturally on Lady Diana’s sparkling tiara. But what about all of the other royal jewels worn at St. Paul’s for the ceremony? I’ve got a deep dive for you today into the other royal sparkle present for the Wales wedding, held 42 years ago today.

Our week highlighting tiaras worn by ladies with late July birthdays and anniversaries continues with a sparkling jewel worn by a model and socialite who has an impressive royal pedigree.

On this day 134 years ago, the British royal family gathered at Buckingham Palace for a special royal wedding, honoring a princess bride who had just received a pair of splendid tiaras from her aristocratic husband and royal parents.
