Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
This year is the centenary of the marriage of King George VI and Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon—more on that next week!—and today, we’ve got a closer look at the jewels she wore on the second most important day of her married life: the day that she and her husband were crowned at Westminster Abbey in 1937.
Today, the royal family celebrates the late Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday for the first time without her. Since her death last September, countless tributes to the late monarch have been shared. I’m joining in the chorus once again today with a birthday celebration of one of her signature jewelry pieces: the three-stranded pearl necklace, worn for nearly all of her daytime engagements during her 70-year reign.
On Thursday, the Prince and Princess of Wales headed to Birmingham, and Kate wore a pair of striking statement earrings for the visit.
