Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
October babies are blessed with a truly unusual and fascinating gemstone: the luminous, fire-filled opal. Among the most interesting royal jewels set with the stone are the Dutch Fire Opals. Today, we’ve got a look at one of Queen Maxima’s appearances in the complete set.
It’s October, which means it’s time for stories that are scary, spooky, and downright terrifying. And it doesn’t get much more terrifying than the tale of a tiara that narrowly escaped a watery grave. Today, brace yourself for the unbelievable story of Lady Allan’s Tiara, which was miraculously rescued from the wreck of the Lusitania.
Our week-long Sparkling Spotlight tribute to royal ladies with October birthdays features a trip in a time machine today! The famed Queen Marie of Romania, who loved dramatic royal jewels, celebrated her birthday on October 29. Today, we’re showcasing jewels she wore for a theatrical portrait session during her time as Romania’s crown princess.
