Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
The exhibition of Danish royal jewels at Amalienborg in Copenhagen is the gift that truly keeps on giving. And thanks to one of our lovely readers, we’ve gotten yet another jewelry surprise from the display—a revelation about heirloom Danish royal jewels that have been recently given to Crown Princess Mary as a birthday present!
Our February Flashbacks continue today with a look back at a bejeweled ensemble worn by Queen Letizia of Spain in February 2009, back when she was still the Princess of Asturias.
Purple may be the traditional color of royalty, but the Queen’s jewelry collection has relatively few pieces set with purple amethysts. One of the major exceptions is this diamond and amethyst brooch, part of an heirloom collection that dates to the days of Queen Victoria.
