Besides the dark color, if that was a saffire shouldn't be more brilliant?
May be, as you said zarzuela, it can be dark topaz.

I would love to see the Queen with this beautiful diamond / pearl tiara once again!

The accesories and the gown are just perfect.

There's a better view of the above-mentioned ring, plus the lovely diamond bracelet of Queen Victoria Eugenie.

Yes I think so.
In this article of the magazine Hola: LA REINA SOFÍA ELIGE LAS JOYAS DE LA REINA VICTORIA EUGENIA PARA SU POSADO OFICIAL
It says that these diamond clips are from the same family of those that Princess Letizia used in the wedding of Prince Frederik and Princess Mary

We know that the Princess of Asturias had borrowed - when she wasn't married- Ruby broches and earrings - for the wedding of Frederic and Mary- ; Esmeralds and diamonds necklace and earrings - gala diner with the President Poutin -

But I didn't succeed to find if this jewells:

( copyright Schot and Hola )

belong to the Queen, to the famous " bijoux de passage", may be to the Countess of Barcelone or... to the Princess of Asturias herself as a wedding gift from some arabian country.

I have mad a lot of search but, I never seen this jewells wore by the queen neither by the Infantas. I know I have yet made this observation but for me the are very new factured. As the diamonds aren't very big and the shape very light, for me it's a recent work.

For all the Royal Spanish jewelry, if you have an idea? Until now, nobody have find the answer....

Adalaide, I also believe that they were a gift of wedding, I do not also remember to have seen the Queen or the Infantas with these pieces.

It's a pity that the majority of the Spanish royal jewels have been sacattered. I know that the Monarchy in Spain has been very unstable, and many kings had to go into exile, but Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain was the grand-daughter of Queen Victoria of UK, she received a fantastic collection of jewels, lots of tiaras, necklaces, bracelets, brooches... but King JC only inherited the fleur-de-lys tiara from her, what it's a pity. I know that she had to sell many jewels when she go into exile, anyway when she died she still had a lot of tiaras, but according to her will, all her remaining jewels were distributed between her two daughter, except 4 or 5 pieces that were called the 'bijoux de passage' those are the only historical jewels Queen Sophia has.

I've noticed her wearing them several times, and i'm surprised because she has access to rather impressive jewelry. Beaded and evil-eye chains are frequently sold in gas stations here in the US . I wonder why HM seems to like them.
Hello Alisa,
On her right hand Her Majesty Queen Sofia is wearing a moonstone ring on her venus finger set in silver.The moonstone may have been given by Princess Irene[Queen's sister] who has studied in India as it is usually worn there traditonally for good.That is a moonstone.
Also I notice the evil eye bracelet may possibly be worn because of her history studies of Byzantium. I find it appropriate and symbolic amidst the other silver bangles.

The Cartier diamond and pearl Tiara (the one she wore with emeralds sometime) was inherited by Infantina Maria Cristina, but King Juan Carlos bought it back at some point. So this is also a tiara Queen Sofia has who once bleonged to Queen Victoria Eugenie. Hope he will do the same with the Aquamarine-Parure that was inherited by Infanta Beatriz.

My guess is, that since protection against the evil eye is popular in Greece, that it's a nod to her Greek heritage.

I hope so! Even if she said that now she is totally Spanish (and this is a thing that a queen of any country MUST obsolutely said) Queen Sofia must love her country and wish to have good relationships to Greek people.

Default Moonstones and charms
Hello everyone,
The moonstone is traditionally worn in India and Princess Irene[Sofia's sister] is a Sanskrit scholar having lived and studied there for years. Greeks rarely wear the moonstone. As for the bracelet for the evil eye it is worn in Greece but is worn in India as well.Could very well be Queen Sofia tapping into her Hellenic roots as she is a scholar of history.

Any idea on what kind of material or stones this necklace is made of? Gold, diamonds, or maybe canary diamonds?
