The Princess has both, many women in Oviedo or in Asturias have reproductions of these jewels.
The Cross of the Angels is a greek cross with two angels and is the symbol of Oviedo. It was realized in the year 808 for the king Alfonso II, and according to the legend two angels helped the goldsmiths who realized it.
The Cross of the Victory is according to the legend the cross of wood that the King Pelayo was taking in Covadonga's Battle, and that the King Alfonso III in the year 908 order to cover of gold and precious stones.
Both pieces remain in the Cathedral of Oviedo.
