The Patiala Necklace

This massive bib-like Art Deco necklace featuring five rows of diamond-encrusted platinum chains and over-sized gems was created by Cartier for Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala in 1928. Weighing almost a 1000 carats, made of platinum and studded with over 2,000 diamonds - including the world's seventh largest DeBeers diamond - is probably one of the most expensive pieces of jewelry ever made.

Royal Crown - The Imperial Crown of Holy Roman Empire . Also called Crown Of Charlemagne, created in the 10th century for coronations of the Holy Roman emperors. Although made for Otto the Great (912–973), it was named for Charlemagne, the first Holy Roman Emperor . The crown is made of eight round-topped plaques of gold hinged together and kept rigid by an interior ring of iron; it is decorated with jewels and enamel in the Byzantine style. It was designed to surmount or incorporate a mitre, which was worn with the points at the sides, and therefore is crossed only by a single arch, from front to back . In the 11th century the present arch, with its cresting of small round-topped plaques, replaced the original, and a jeweled cross, meant originally to hang upon the breast, was fastened to the front plate of the crown. The rim was adorned with side pendants that have been lost . . . #royalcrown #royaljewelry #royalhistory #holyromanemperor #imperialcrown #byzantinestyle #charlemagne https://www.instagram.com/p/B0F331wH3Ad/?igshid=koi1wb8dkvpj

Bhutan Royal Couple :  King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuk and Queen Jetsun Pema of Bhutan

King Jigme Khesar and Jetsun Pema married on 13 October 2011, at Punakha Dzong. During the royal wedding ceremotny, the King received the Crown of the Druk Gyal-tsuen from the sacred Machhen and bestowed it on Jetsun Pema, thereby formally proclaiming her as the Queen of the Kingdom of Bhutan.

The wedding was held in traditional style with the “blessings of the guardian deities.” Although Bhutan allows polygamy, the king said that he would never marry another woman, and that Jetsun Pema will be his only wife in the future. “Jetsun Pema is a kind-hearted girl who is very supportive and whom I can trust. I cannot say how she might appear to the people, but to me, she is the one.”
