The Dutch royal collection includes a number of large tiaras, but perhaps the biggest of all was a now-lost sparkler: the tiara from Queen Wilhelmina’s wedding gift parure.

I may not be a February baby, but I am extremely partial to amethysts. Whether they’re deep purple or another shade, they’re always showstoppers. Today, we’re looking at the amethyst set that belongs to the British royal family—which also happens to be one of the oldest sets of jewelry in their entire collection.

Tiaras are special because they’re beautiful works of art, but some of them are doubly interesting because of their royal pasts. Every now and then, one of today’s princesses wears a tiara that came from a royal house of the past. Today’s tiara, the Savoy-Aosta Tiara, is one of those—it started off with a branch of the former reigning family of Italy, and now it graces the head of a Belgian princess.

November babies are particularly lucky: one of their birthstones, the topaz, comes in a rainbow of shades. Today we’re looking at some royal jewels set with the pink variety: Queen Camilla’s pink topaz jewels.
