Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
This weekend at Hidden Gems, I’m beginning a new series on the fascinating courtship of Princess Margaret of Connaught, which took place 120 years ago this winter. As bonus reading today, I’ve got a look at some of the spectacular jewels worn by four more British royal granddaughters who had made glittering matches in the years before Margaret: an Empress of Russia, a Queen of Norway, a Queen of Romania, and a Queen of the Hellenes.
We’re finally digging out from a winter storm here in my neck of the woods, but I’ve got one more snowflake on my radar: a sparkling one on a Canadian coin, made to resemble a brooch from Queen Elizabeth II’s collection.
I promised at least one more jewelry highlight from the recent Golden Globe Awards, and this one’s a stunner: a modern diamond and opal demi-parure, worn on the red carpet by Anya Taylor-Joy.
