Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
This week’s Wedding Tiara Wednesday is, well, another royal wedding without a tiara. We’ve got a closer look today at the jewels worn 160 years ago this week by Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom, including the tiara that she decided not to wear for her wedding ceremony.
March is the month of the mighty aquamarine, the sea-colored birthstone that can be paired with almost anything. One of the most glamorous royal suites of aquamarine jewels can be found in the Netherlands, where they were collected by the late Queen Juliana.
March is the month to celebrate the Commonwealth of Nations, with Commonwealth Day falling on the second Monday of the month. As we look forward to this year’s service at Westminster Abbey (which will be held next Monday), let’s look back at the late Queen Elizabeth II’s final appearance at the event—and the sparkling star brooch she wore.
On Wednesday, the Prince and Princess of Wales celebrated St. David’s Day with the Welsh Guards in Windsor, and Kate wore a symbolic, diamond-studded badge for the occasion.
