Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
There was another big antique jewelry moment during last week’s Vietnamese state visit to Denmark, when Queen Mary brought out heirloom diamond earrings for the return dinner in Copenhagen.
On Friday, the Spanish royal family headed to Oviedo for the annual Princess of Asturias Awards ceremony, and Leonor borrowed a fabulous pair of earrings from her royal grandmother for the occasion.
On Thursday, the Norwegian royals hosted the first gala dinner of King Haakon VIII’s reign, with both Queen Sonja and Crown Princess Ingrid Alexandra sparkling in tiaras for the occasion.
The interest in exhibitions containing important pieces of jewelry has been high in Europe in recent years, and the Royal Collection Trust announced yesterday that they’re mounting an entire display of royal jewelry next summer at the King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace.
The third in the trio of European state visits this week took place in Stockholm, where the Swedish royal family hosted a grand state banquet for the President of Singapore on Monday evening.
