5 Stunning Royal Jewelry Pieces—Wow!

No matter what country they hail from, when royals are involved, jewelry is always elaborate, exquisite, unique and expensive! Still, we know our readers love to see images and read stories about jewelry from around the world so here are five stunning royal jewelry pieces we know you’ll love.

Marie Antoinette Necklace

 

They say Marie loved spending money and this necklace is full of white diamonds, two are yellow diamonds in an oval shape and a fabulous pink diamond at the bottom. The gems are set in platinum and all the jewels together equal 20.35 carats! Not bad for the daughter of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and Emperor Francis I. The approximate cost today is a whopping $3.7 million.

Art Deco Diamond Necklace

 

Although this necklace graced Spanish Flamenco dancer Anita Delgado—who became Princess in Kapurthala, no one is quite sure what this necklace is worth in today’s money. It is full of diamonds, emeralds and rock crystal. Before Anita wore it, she fondly placed the necklace as an adornment on her favorite elephant.

Poltimore Tiara and Diamond Monogram Brooch

 

The younger and often scandalous sister of Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret was lucky enough to own the Poltimore Tiara made from old cut diamond clusters and diamond set scroll motifs. What’s amazing about this Tiara is it can be converted to a necklace or eleven brooches. The cost in today’s dollars--$1,704,576. Also owned by Princess Market is a monogramed brooch bearing the letters HSH and an “M” for its namesake. The brooch is made of single cut and circular cut diamonds. The brooch is worth $344,448.

Tabbah Infinite Cascade Necklace

 

When Prince Albert II of Monaco married Charlene Wittstock, he handed over a Tabbah Infinite Cascade necklace made of 1,237 diamonds, six giant pearls and 18k rose gold. Again, no price tag on this one as of this writing but when His Serene Highness Prince Albert gives a gift to his wife, it’s a good one!

Jackie Kennedy’s Engagement Ring from JFK

 

Although not world royalty, in the U.S, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy and JFK were certainly a “royal power couple.” The engagement bobble, purchased by JFK’s father Joe Sr. is a diamond and emerald ring. Made by Van Cleef & Arpels, JFK gave the ring to Jackie in 1953. By 1962, the original 2.88 carats of diamonds and emeralds was reset and its final weight was 4.3 carats—2.84 carts of cut emeralds and 1.46 carats of round diamonds.

Some pretty impressive pieces from the world’s royalty and our own beloved Jackie Kennedy in the United States. Do you have a favorite celebrity or royal piece of jewelry you long to own? If so leave us a comment and let us know!
