Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
On this date in 1956, a German royal countess married a Habsburg archduke in a glittering ceremony, complete with an heirloom bridal tiara that originally belonged to her Romanov grandmother.
Let’s wrap up our work week in one of the best ways possible: with a Habsburg wedding tiara! Thanks to our generous friend Stefan, we can take a closer look at the bridal tiara worn by Countess Leonie von Waldburg-Zeil, as well as some jewelry worn by two particularly familiar royal wedding guests. (Hint, hint: think Orange.)
Later this month, Bonhams is auctioning a gorgeous, convertible diamond necklace inspired by a royal jewel that was worn by the wife of a French royal pretender.
