Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
In April 2017, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain made a state visit to Japan, where they were hosted by Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko for a glittering state banquet. Today’s Sparkling Spotlight shines on the diamonds and sapphires worn by Letizia for the dinner.
The jewelry collection of Diana, Princess of Wales included numerous important sapphires, from her engagement ring and her pearl choker necklace to her Saudi suite. The group also included this strikingly modern set of sapphire and diamond jewels, a gift from the Sultan of Oman.
With her iconic sapphire engagement ring in a permanent place of pride on her left hand, the Duchess of Cambridge often coordinates with other pieces of sapphire jewelry. Today we’ve got a look at a pair of earrings, now worn by Kate, that have sentimental royal history.
