Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Working members of the British royal family welcomed overseas coronation guests with a reception at Buckingham Palace on Friday evening, and there were lots of colorful gemstones on display—including emeralds set in a hidden tiara!
Coronation weekend has arrived, everyone! The Princess of Wales began the festivities on Friday by wearing a pair of earrings from the collection of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
At the moment, I know we’re all on tenterhooks, waiting to see whether we’ll get to marvel at major jewelry during Saturday’s coronation or have to be contented with smaller (but probably still important) pieces. Meanwhile, let’s soothe ourselves with a trip in our time machine, back to experience the bejeweled ensembles of princesses at coronations from another era of history.
