Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
In November 1987, the Prince and Princess of Wales made a visit to Germany. During the visit, they attended a dinner hosted by President Richard von Weizsaecker at his home in Bad Godesberg, a suburb of Bonn. Diana brought out a new suite of jewels for the occasion: the Sultan of Oman Sapphire Suite.
We’ve got one more post in our week-long series on Queen Maxima’s royal jewels! Today, we’ve got a closer look at a vibrant pair of earrings, set with diamonds and tanzanites, from her jewelry box.
One of my favorite formal events each May is the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s annual gala, which attracts a bevy of celebrities and beautiful people—and royals, too! (Diana, Princess of Wales made a memorable Met Gala appearance in 1996, and Princess Beatrice of York and Queen Rania of Jordan have also graced the gala’s red carpet.) This year’s gala has been postponed until September, but in the meantime, I thought I’d do a little throwback to one of my favorite Met Gala looks of all time: the purple and gold ensemble worn by actress Lucy Liu in 2007.
