Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
We’ve been marveling at lots of royal jewels worn for state visits to Germany this weekâso I thought it was time that we also gazed on some jewels worn by members of one of Germany’s former royal families. Today, we’re drooling over the magnificent royal jewels that belonged to Queen Therese of Bavaria, who helped found one of Munich’s most enduring traditions: Oktoberfest!
Today’s Sparkling Spotlight post takes us back to October 2016, and an especially sparkly state visit appearance in Germany by Queen Silvia of Sweden.
I couldn’t let October go by without featuring another jewel set with the month’s unusual, lovely birthstone! Today, I’m shining the spotlight on a sparkling appearance by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom in one of her favorite opal brooches.
