This necklace has a fascinating history. Originally, it was an engagement gift that Francisco de Asis de Bourbon gave to Queen Isabella II of Spain in 1846.
Years later, King Alfonso XIII decided to buy it before it went on sale, giving it to his wife, Queen Victoria Eugenia, in 1906, reports Vanity Fair.
It is one of those pieces that have passed from queen to queen, which gives it an even greater sentimental and historical value.
Queen Letizia not only opted for the necklace, but also combined it perfectly with pearl earrings that she has had since Leonor’s birth, forming a harmonious ensemble.
This thoughtful style and her choice of jewelry treasure a connection to her royal family and to history.
