Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Elegant, balanced, and packed with sparkling diamonds: it’s easy to see why generations of the British royal family have loved the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. Let’s dig into the tiara’s history today.
We learned late last year that two magnificent tiaras made in the reign of Queen Victoria would soon be going on display at Kensington Palace, and on Friday, the public will finally see them sparkling in action. And even better—there’s a surprise third royal tiara involved! Here’s the scoop on the jewels you’ll see in the palace’s revamped “Victoria Revealed” exhibition.
The glamorous Queen Máxima of the Netherlands has sported an array of tiaras from the Dutch royal family’s vast jewel collection, but back in 2001, she selected a very small tiara from the family’s stash for her gala jewel debut: the base of the Antique Pearl Tiara.
