This Week in Nobel Gala Jewels: December 10-11

December 10-11, 2016

It’s really massively unfair to make any other jewelry compete with the royal glitter in Scandinavia during the Nobel gala celebrations, so we’ve got a separate roundup just for them this week! (The regular jewelry roundup will be up in a few hours, so stay tuned.) Don’t forget to vote in our special poll!

10. Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway wore a headband of baroque pearls and a pair of coordinating earrings at the Nobel Peace Prize Banquet in Oslo. (See more images, including pearl close-ups, here!)

9. At the same banquet, Queen Sonja upped the jewelry ante with the Drapers’ Company Brooch, pearl and diamond earrings, a pearl bracelet, and an amethyst cluster ring. (See more images here!)
