Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World

The Duchess of Cambridge recently celebrated an important birthday, and in honor of that milestone, we’re taking a closer look today at one of her glorious royal jewels, the Lotus Flower Tiara.

Denmark is perhaps one of the most tiara-rich countries in Europe, but even among their large cache of sparklers, a few tiaras stand out as particularly historically important. One of these, the Pearl Poiré Tiara, highlights the maternal heritage of the country’s monarch.

The year is 2002, and Máxima Zorreguieta Cerruti is preparing to marry the heir to the Dutch throne. If you’re a royal bride, you can play the wedding tiara game a few ways: you can opt for a safe choice (like the Duchess of Cambridge), you can wear an heirloom tiara (like Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden), you can go for no tiara at all (never something I’d personally advise), or you can go big.
Máxima, being Máxima, went for major sparkle.
