Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Are you, like me, a fan of the jewelry collection of the late Dame Elizabeth Taylor? Well, you’re in luck: you’ve got a chance to own one of her pieces! Taylor’s Victorian Sapphire Brooch is hitting the auction block (again!) tomorrow in Hong Kong.
With the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla only five weeks away, it’s time to begin a series on the fabulous jewels worn by Britain’s kings and queens at their coronations. We begin today with Queen Victoria, whose coronation jewels included a scaled-down crown and a too-small ring.
Not an April Fool’s joke, sadly—there are stirrings that the Princess of Wales will not wear a tiara for the upcoming coronation, breaking long-standing tradition.
