Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World

Our week-long series on the tiaras worn by the young princesses of the Netherlands makes a stop in 1961 today, with tiaras worn for a gala dinner during a state visit.

The Duchess of Cornwall’s jewelry collection has grown over the years to become one of the most impressive in Europe. Among the longest-serving jewels in the group is this suite of diamond and turquoise jewels, which she’s been wearing since before joining the royal family.

Even after losing their thrones, exiled royals from around the world have made extraordinary efforts to maintain family ties. From charitable ventures to genealogical organizations, they use these connections to hold on to something of the past. Last week in Paris, a group of descendants of these former royals and nobles gathered for a dinner—complete with sparkling jewels.
