This Week in Royal Jewels: May 6-12

May 6-12, 2016

From brooches to tiaras, we’ve got a varied slate of royal jewels for you to vote on this week. Don’t forget to let us know which pieces are your favorites in the poll below!

10. In California on Wednesday, Princess Charlene of Monaco wore a pair of sunburst-shaped stud earrings and a diamond cross to launch the American branch of her charitable foundation.

9. Queen Maxima of the Netherlands wore statement earrings in bright orange, her country’s signature color, at a climate change conference in Rotterdam on Wednesday.

8. Earrings set with diamonds and cabochon rubies were Queen Letizia of Spain’s choice for a rainy day of engagements in Seville on Tuesday.

7. On Wednesday, Queen Mathilde of the Belgians wore a major pair of gold statement earrings for a meeting at the palace in Brussels.

6. At Tuesday’s Buckingham Palace garden party, the Duchess of Gloucester wore a gorgeous suite of jewels (and carried an elaborate umbrella!). You can see closeups here, as well as glimpses of jewels worn by Princess Alexandra and the Countess of Wessex.

5. The Duchess of Cornwall hosted a special garden party at Buckingham Palace on Thursday to mark the 150th anniversary of Barnardo’s, a children’s charity. For the event, she wore her grand pearl choker necklace with a diamond and pink topaz clasp.

4. At Tuesday’s garden party, Queen Elizabeth II wore one of her 21st birthday gifts, the diamond Flame Lily Brooch.

3. The Queen held a reception for members of parliament at Buck House on Monday; she wore the Albert Brooch and a healthy amount of skepticism.

2. Two state visits this week = two tiaras! In Sweden, Queen Silvia wore the glittering Queen Sofia’s Tiara, which is also sometimes called the Nine-Prong Tiara (for obvious reasons).

1. My top vote of the week goes to one of my personal favorite tiaras: the Luxembourg Vine Leaves Tiara, worn by Grand Duchess Maria Teresa during the state visit to Finland.
