Sparkling Royal Jewels From Around the World
The Countess of Wessex celebrates her birthday in January, and in her honor, we’re taking a look this month at some of the most glittering pieces from her jewelry box. First up: her collection of jewels set with gorgeous blue topazes and aquamarines.
Today, Sotheby’s in London will hold a special “Royal & Noble” auction featuring items connected to royals and aristocrats from Britain, Belgium, Egypt, Portugal, and Italy—including a striking gem-set cross once worn by Diana, Princess of Wales.
We’re starting off the year with a new weekly feature: Wedding Tiara Wednesday! Today, we’ve got a closer look at the royal wedding jewels worn by a bride who celebrates her birthday next week: the Princess of Wales.
