For example, 1906, the crown Fleur de Lys headdress made by the British royal family,
This was a wedding gift from Queen Victoria to the Spanish royal family. At that time, King Alfonso II presented this crown to his new wife Victoria Eugenia. These gifts also include three necklaces.
This is also the jewelry inherited by Queen Elena of Spain, the first very large diamond necklace (Figure 3-4), the second necklace with 37 pearls (Figure 8), and the last one is a very luxurious diamond earring, which is described as "unpar de pendientes con uni brilliant grueso y brilliant al redor" (Figures 2, 3, 4 and 6).
Including the pearl sometimes called La Peregrina ll, a kind of pearl similar to the famous Peregrina, which was once part of the Spanish royal collection (it once belonged to Elizabeth Taylor) before Joseph Bonaparte got this necklace in the Napoleonic era.
This is a brooch with a big gray pearl and a pear-shaped pearl on it (Figure 9), two of which are made into diamond bracelets.
In addition, there are diamond bracelets, which are made of diamonds from the small crown that King Alfonso gave to Edna at the wedding (Figure 5). She named this jewelry collection Joyas de Pasar or "Jewelry Pass", which was intended for the Queen to wear and continue.
An interesting thing for Spain is that in 193 1 year, when the queen finished her will and wanted to pass on the jewels to the next queen, her husband had been abolished from the throne. There was no monarchy in Spain at this time, and jewelry could not be passed down.
The jewels were left to her son, the Earl of Barcelona, and later Spain returned to the monarchy. Then these jewels were inherited by the earl's daughter-in-law Queen Sophia. After King Juan Carlos abdicated, the jewels were passed on to Queen letizia (Figure 2).
