Royalty in Radiance: Queen Geraldine's Remarkable Life and Dazzling Jewelry Collection

Queen Geraldine of Albania, born Geraldine Apponyi in 1915, lived a life marked by significant historical events and personal challenges. As the Queen consort to King Zog I, her reign was cut short by the Italian invasion of Albania in 1939, leading to years of exile in various European countries. Throughout World War II, she and King Zog I navigated political uncertainties. After her husband's death, Queen Geraldine returned to Albania in 2002. She passed away later that year at the age of 87 in Tirana. Her funeral, complete with a oration at St Paul's Cathedral, honored her contributions. Queen Geraldine's legacy encompasses her resilience, royal role during a critical era, and, notably, her refined style, epitomized by a dazzling jewelry collection that continues to be remembered as a symbol of her elegance and regality.
