Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
State visit season is still in full swing in Europe, and today, we’ve got a look at the dazzling jewels worn by the ladies of the Norwegian royal family as they welcomed the President of Italy to Oslo this week.
Almost a century ago this week, the people of Norway and Sweden were celebrating a royal wedding between a future Norwegian king and his Swedish princess bride. This is yet another Wedding Tiara Wednesday article without a bridal tiara—well, sort of, anyway. Crown Princess Märtha received and wore a special tiara during her wedding celebrations, one still being worn for gala events in Oslo today.
This week’s Tiara Thursday post introduces a new feature on the website! The Bejeweled Battle is a contest that asks a simple royal jewelry question: which royal lady wore it better? We’re kicking things off with a set of modern diamonds and amethysts, worn by two Norwegian princesses for royal weddings in Sweden.
