Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
Ninety years ago today, the British and Greek royal families gathered in London for the wedding of a prince and a princess. The Duke of Kent, the youngest surviving son of King George V and Queen Mary, wed Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark in a pair of sparkling ceremonies on November 29, 1934. In honor of the anniversary, I’ve got a closer look at some of Marina’s gorgeous wedding gift jewels—including a discussion of where some of the pieces are today.
Last week, a little piece of royal history was sold at auction in England: a sapphire and emerald ring once owned by Princess Margaret that also apparently had ties to another royal relative, the Marquess of Cambridge.
When the Princess of Wales began making a return to the public spotlight this autumn, she chose to wear a pair of favorite Catherine Zoraida earrings from her jewelry box. Recently, People shared a fascinating interview with the jeweler—and revealed that there’s another unseen Zoraida piece waiting to be worn by Kate.
