Can you believe it, everyone? It’s time for our last regular weekly roundup of the year! We’ll be delving into year-in-review posts next week — but in the meantime, don’t forget to vote for your favorites in the poll below!

10. Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden visited Italy this week. On Friday, she wore a pair of dark hoop earrings with a small round dangle for a party in Milan.

9. The Duchess of Cambridge wore fern hoop earrings by Catherine Zoraida for a Christmas Party at The Mix in London on Monday. (See more here!)

8. On Friday, the Duchess of Cornwall represented the Queen at the annual Sovereign’s Parade at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. For the event, she wore her diamond and pearl earrings and two cap badges: on her hat, the cap badge of The Rifles (she’s the Royal Colonel of the 4th Battalion), and on her coat, the badge of the 12th Lancers (with whom her father, Major Bruce Shand, served during WWII). You’ll note that the buttons on her coat also feature an image of the cap badge of The Rifles.

7. Queen Letizia of Spain wore statement earrings by Coolook to meet with a foundation aiming to end drug abuse in Madrid. (More over here!)

6. In Belgium, Queen Mathilde wore a pair of rather cool, modern earrings for the annual Christmas concert at the Royal Palace in Brussels on Wednesday.

5. Princess Astrid of Belgium also attended the Christmas concert, and she wore a rather lovely pair of sparkling earrings. The earrings have a pear-shaped stud and a pear-shaped drop.

4. For the annual meeting of the Swedish Academy in Stockholm, Princess Sofia wore a pair of earrings by one of her go-to jewelry designers, Ebba Brahe.

3. Crown Princess Victoria attended the meeting in a small diamond riviere and pearl drop earrings.

2. Queen Silvia chose one of her pairs of diamond and emerald earrings for the formal meeting.

1. And my top spot of the week goes to Princess Madeleine, who wore a pair of dramatic pendant earrings for the academy meeting.
