Self-declared magpies have been counting down the days until King Charles III's coronation for months now, and the historic event has finally arrived.
As expected, the main ceremony at Westminster Abbey was a lavish affair, and alongside stately robes and elegant gowns, illustrious jewels played a starring role. From Katy Perry's Vivienne Westwood pearl necklace to Pretty Yende's 138ct diamond necklace, the bijouterie on display at the coronation was nothing short of next-level lavish.

2. Katy Perry's Vivienne Westwood pearl necklace

The Firework singer wore a lilac column dress layered under a short-sleeved jacket and a wide-brim fascinator. Paying tribute to the late 'Godmother of Punk', Katy's look was by British designer Vivienne Westwood, as was her three-strand pearl necklace, complete with orb detailing. Very apt.
3. Princess Kate's touching tribute to Princess Diana

The diamond and South Sea pearl earrings feature a cluster of diamonds and an elegant pearl drop, and paired perfectly with her silver bullion 3D leaf embroidery headpiece by Jess Collett and Alexander McQueen.

She opted for an elaborate 138.80ct yellow and white diamond necklace and a matching lustrous pair of 35.34ct dangly earrings, and served us up some major bijoux envy.
5. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie champion the same British heritage label

It was the first official Crown Jeweller of the United Kingdom, having supplied jewels for Queen Victoria and been charged with the upkeep of the British Crown Jewels from 1843 to 2007. She wore Garrard's 'Blaze' Pink Sapphire, Rubellite and Pink Opal Hoop Earrings and her sister also opted for pieces by the renowned jeweller.
