For more than half a century, Queen Sonja of Norway has appeared in some of the most spectacular jewels in the Norwegian royal collection. But many of those impressive tiaras, necklaces and brooches are not actually her personal jewels. Some are historic family heirlooms, others belong to the royal collection. Yet there is another, more personal side to Queen Sonja's jewelry story. It is found in the pieces associated with the most important moments of her life with King Harald.
And perhaps the most meaningful of all was a small jewel containing two very different gemstones: diamonds and a ruby. Because before Harald could give Sonja a royal title, a wedding, or a tiara, he had to give her something even more important— a promise sealed with his mother's ruby and diamond engagement ring.
So, today we are looking into romantic and legendary jewels King Harald gave to Sonja.
