What commoner doesn't dream of being a princess? With the exception of Kate Middleton actually becoming one, us ordinary folks have always been fascinated with the British Monarchy, especially their jewelry (or more specifically for me, the Queen's gorgeous collection of tiaras.)

Now as we enter into the Queen's 60th year on the throne, known as her Diamond Jubilee, the Royals' jewels are going on exhibition this summer at Buckingham Palace. On display will be the Queen's tiara's, brooches as well as many other jewelry items either passed down from previous generations or those she acquired during her reign. Specifically diamonds, as they denote longevity and strength.

For complete details on this jewelry exhibit, as well as many other exhibitions being held this year in the Queen's honor, please visit: The Royal Collection.
