Compared with the two Queen Horses, during the 18 years when Spanish Queen letizia entered the royal family, the pearl earrings she wore were more like their combination in style and quantity. She is willing to try new styles and wear different clothes for different occasions, but only those who love each other deeply.
All right, cut the crap. Let's take a look at her 12 pair of pearl earrings ~
Like other royal women, her jewelry sources can be roughly divided into three categories: family gifts/loans, gifts from institutions/friends, and self-funded purchases.
Letizia and Felipe were news anchors before they got married. She prefers metallic and colorful gemstone earrings to pearl earrings that need time and energy to be carefully cared for. After the engagement, she lived with the royal family for half a year, and didn't wear pearl earrings for the first time until the wedding dinner.
This is a gift from Felipe's grandmother Maria Mercedes, Countess of Barcelona. This set includes earrings and necklaces with pearls, diamonds and sapphires. Earrings were the popular "half-moon model" of the countess of Barcelona at that time. A pearl was surrounded by half a circle of sapphires and diamonds.
Letizia himself was probably moved, but he was not interested in this style. He only put it on the shelf once, and it was not until the 20th anniversary of the death of the Countess of Barcelona that he took it out again to show his filial piety.
The same fate as the "half-moon model" is a pair of cross pendant earrings given to her by "straight man" husband Felipe in 2004. These earrings were brought to his wife by himself when he was on a business trip. They were personally designed by the prince of the former Yugoslavia, and the design is more unconstrained and unconstrained, which is more suitable for wearing fluffy skirts to attend the met gala red carpet.
She watched it three or four times before reluctantly putting it away, and she hasn't seen it again since she was promoted to queen of Spain.
In a certain year's Princess asturias award ceremony, she later wore a pair of pearl diamond earrings, consisting of three round diamonds and a white pearl. At that time, many people said it was an "inverted" version removed from the cross earrings, but any jeweler could make this style, and the palace did not give a response. Whether this is right or wrong is a matter of opinion.
In addition to these two pairs of "ill-fated" earrings, letizia also wore two pairs of pearl earrings of Bourbon family, which were generously lent to her by her mother-in-law Queen Sophia.
One pair is diamond flower earrings+long pendant+pearl version. The deeper source is unknown, and the shape is elegant and exquisite, just like a slim girl dancing happily. It is a good hand to modify her face. Letizia and her sister Princess Elena both wore them (as if the pearls had been changed).
The second pair is "golden acorn earrings". Of course, I named it. It is composed of gold and pearls, and looks like an acorn from a distance. This style of earrings does not require high quality pearls. Anyway, defects can be covered with gold. Later, she wore it twice when she visited Britain on 20 17, which made her quite gentle.
Letizia was born in asturias, which used to be a principality. After her daughter became the first civilian princess in Spanish history, the region always said something. With a wave of his hand, he presented a necklace and a pair of pearl earrings, which were composed of pearls, pink tourmalines and aquamarine.
To tell you the truth, I read it very carefully. There is also a high degree of recognition in the pile of pearl earrings of royal women, but I don't know if it is because I really don't like them, or because there are many kinds of gems that don't match, or because they are too important to me. I wore it many times when I was a crown princess, but I haven't seen it since I became a queen.
In addition, she also has a pair of small and exquisite styles of unknown origin but similar in shape. They were worn once at the Laurence Awards Dinner and never appeared again.
However, if letizia really likes which pearl earrings can reflect her personal aesthetics, it still depends on several pairs of earrings she bought and wore many times, earrings+pendants, rings+pendants.
First of all, the style of ring+pendant, which is the favorite style of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Crown Prince Princesse Marie of Denmark, is also the favorite style of "fake pearls".
Later, I wore a pair of small pearls during the period of the Crown Princess, but there was no sense of existence at all, and the number of times I wore them was not too much.
The other pair of diamond hoop earrings has a much higher sense of existence. They are also made of real pearls, and they are the kind that you wear casually and forget where to put them without wearing them. It has been rare in recent years.
There is also a pair of baroque pearl earrings of Spanish national brand tous, which look ok, but the style is more fashionable and the wearing effect is more plastic.
Tous is her favorite brand. In addition to this pair of baroque pearl earrings with a strong sense of modeling, she also has a pair of pearl+diamond earrings, which are relatively small, inconspicuous and have a certain sense of existence, and can be worn by her daughters in the future.
To say her "pearl earrings, the core of life", it must be two other pairs of earrings and pendants. The first pair consists of seven round diamonds and a round white pearl, which looks very atmospheric. The only drawback is that the diamond bars are connected together, which is a bit not very clever.
The second pair of pendant earrings is "closer" to her. This is because it is more malleable, and because Queen letizia always chooses it on many important and intimate occasions.
This pair of earrings comes from tous and consists of a diamond+platinum thumbtack, seven diamond pendants with platinum+round diamonds and a round white pearl. They can be worn completely, alone or with other earrings instead of thumbtacks.
Leonor and Sophia wore these pearl earrings at the christening. It can be said that it is a simple and generous style, and the design can be freely combined to ensure the appearance rate ~
Many people think that the Spanish royal family is "really poor" and the relationship between the two queens is not as good as people think, so letizia can wear few jewels. However, in 18 years, only pearl earrings are quite a lot, and it is enough to live.
Finally, as a later fashion powder, I regret most that all the "princess's money" beloved by European royal wives is blank here. I hope I can see her start a pair one day ~
