Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World

We recently talked about one of the oldest pairs of diamond earrings in the Swedish royal collection, the Vasa Earrings. Today, we’re looking at their little sisters: the Karl Johan Earrings.

With its wave-like diamond pattern and its seafoam-colored central aquamarine, the Duchess of Edinburgh’s most modern tiara is a striking piece. Even better: it’s convertible!

Thanks to their French imperial heritage, the Bernadottes of Sweden have a jewelry collection that features pieces that date all the way back to the days of Napoleon and Josephine. But today’s jewels, the Vasa Earrings, have an even longer Swedish royal legacy.
