Excuse me, I'm gonna faint!

King Charles ‘s emerald tux studs really glow! I wonder if they are one emerald per stud or the invisible set smaller square cut emeralds. The other picture of him also shows these glowy beauties.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

maybe why i cant find pictures of Princess Ann wearing brooches and other jewlery on the Falkland islands -because she has her coat on all the time





hopefully HRH's tree will grow better

It was even more impressive inside when HRH took off her silver cape to reveal the true magnitude of her emerald explosion!


The Lady Mayoress provided even more sparkle with her petite diamond tiara/hair-comb

I had one at school as part of the uniform, wool lined, buttoned front, hooded, and for the life of me I can't find this design on the web, so I am going to have one made.

HM the King at the Goldsmith’s Centre, the UK’s leading educational charity for training jewelers and silversmiths. Aware of the King’s longstanding commitments to environmental causes, the Goldsmiths’ Company gifted him a cross created from recycled silver. The day showed how Britain’s historic institutions continue to fizz with new talent.

i really like this one

on the way into the awards ceromony

 

[prince.of.preslav]

I've never paid much attention to Empress Josephine's coronation jewels apart from the tiara. I wonder what happened to all these rows of diamonds, her cameo bracelet and these huge pear-shaped pearls!

Theearrings must be the same in this François Gérard portrait from 1807-8

Today marks the 50th anniversary since the death of Princess Sibylla of Sweden, the King's mother. To mark the day, the Royal Court has shared this photo of the late Princess wearing a some sapphire heirlooms from the Bernadotte and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha families (indirectly keeping with the Napoleonic theme).
We all know the Leuchtenberg sapphire parure, but note the heart-shaped bracelet on her left wrist. This was a wedding present to her paternal grandmother, the Duchess of Albany. I don't think we've seen the bracelet in the last 50 years, which is a great pity, iny opinion.
I believe the cabochon sapphire ring went to her youngest daughter Cristina.

I love the neckline of this and similar dresses - double clip brooches are made for them and I have a soft spot for double clips!!!

I love double clips! Or twin brooches, for that matter.
Bjt I believe in this case the dress was designed/chosen specifically to showcase the sapphire necklace. Like Mary's iconic red dress.
