9. The Danish royal court has announced the schedule of events to celebrate Queen Margrethe’s 75th birthday this April, and there’s a gala on the docket. You know what that means: major, major European tiaras! Mark your calendars for April 15!

8. Crown Princess Victoria’s earrings were appropriately lively for the European Figure Skating Championships, where she danced in the stands along with her daughter, Princess Estelle.
7. Queen Maxima went light on the jewelry for an education fair on Wednesday, though she did don her usual set of bracelets.

5. Queen Letizia wore her diamond pave drop earrings to a meeting at FEDER in Madrid on Tuesday.
4. Queen Mathilde wore gold earrings — and a rather unusual “hat” — at Saturday’s opening of Mons 2015.
3. To meet with survivors on Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Duchess of Cornwall donned her small diamond clover brooch and pearls.
2. Crown Princess Mette-Marit also attended a memorial ceremony on Holocaust Remembrance Day, and she also wore pearls (a traditional choice for occasions of memorial and remembrance), selecting a long, sautoir-like necklace.
1. Queen Letizia dazzled at a symposium on Thursday, wearing a gorgeous pair of diamond girandole earrings.

9. Kate brought a few more surprise pairs of earrings with her to the US. This pair, crocodile earrings by Patrick Mavros, were worn at the Nets/Cavs game on Monday.

3. Queen Maxima of the Netherlands wore an elaborate necklace with blue gemstones from her own jewelry collection, debuted around this time last year, at a gala for the 75th birthday of Pieter van Vollenhoven, Princess Margriet’s husband.
2. At the same gala, Princess Margriet wore a lovely necklace — amethysts and topazes, perhaps?

1. We’ve talked about the glamorous jewels worn by the Swedish royal ladies at the Nobels on Wednesday already; on Thursday, they all attended the King’s Dinner, a second gala event for the Nobel winners. Queen Silvia wore the Connaught tiara, but the rest of the ladies — Victoria, Madeleine, and Christina — wore the same tiaras they’d worn the previous evening.

Victoria did add the necklace made from Josephine of Leuchtenberg’s diamond stomacher. And there’s something suspiciously sparkly in Sofia Hellqvist’s hair, too…
