Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
The Emperor of Japan celebrated a milestone birthday this weekend, and the ladies of the imperial family joined in the festivities with a quartet of lovely brooches.
Our survey of last week’s glittering New Year jewels takes us to Tokyo today, where the imperial family of Japan sparkled in fabulous tiaras, pearls, and brooches to welcome 2025.
New Year’s week means sparkling tiaras at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. I’ll be covering the tiaras of this year’s reception when I return to my desk next week, but in the meantime, I’ve got a closer look at one of my personal favorite tiaras from the imperial vaults: a diamond honeysuckle tiara that belonged to a fascinating Japanese princess.
