Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Hi, everybody! I’m easing back in to writing new content again following the birth of our daughter during the first week of January. (We’re all doing great!) I thought I’d start with a sparkling pair of statement earrings that we saw out and about recently in Sweden. Stay tuned—I’ll be covering additional recent events, including the important jewels worn for King Constantine’s funeral in Athens, over the next days and weeks.
This week’s guest article is a fun one! My friend Erica Eriksdotter, a professional artist who specializes in portraits of animals, has shared some of her thoughts on the way that the worlds of art and royal jewelry intersect. Because Erica is originally from Sweden, she’s focused on the glittering jewels of the Bernadottes in both art and life. Enjoy!
All this month, we’re going to be taking a closer look at some of the jewels of Princess Margaret of Connaught, the vivacious British princess who later became Crown Princess of Sweden. Let’s begin with an accessory she wore throughout her life: gleaming royal pearls.
