10. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited YoungMinds, a charity in London dedicated to mental health support, on Thursday. Kate wore her daytime jewelry uniform: Kiki McDonough earrings (the “Lauren” pair), her usual rings, and her Cartier watch.

9. Princess Marie of Denmark wore glittering drop earrings and a pendant with the letter H (and — I think — also the letter A, for her two children, Henrik and Athena) on Sunday at the Copenhagen Jewellery and Watch Show.

1. But Maxima’s best bejeweled look of the week for me was at Wednesday’s reception for Dutch medalists in The Hague. She went full patriotic orange, wearing pieces from the family’s collection of citrine and diamond jewels, including the large drop earrings and the large bracelet. On her left wrist, you can also see the diamond bracelet that features her family’s initials.
