Mellario Shell Taiara
This tiara was commissioned by HM Queen Isabella II of Spain for the wedding of one of her two daughters. Which daughter is unknown. The shell tiara, looks like it is made after the beautiful waves of the ocean. The tiara along with another tiara commisioned by Mellario for the family, was put on display in Paris in 1906. Here is an official portriat of HM Queen Sofia wearing it, this photo used to be on the official spanish royal family site.

Seems as though this is one of HM favorite tiaras to wear, she wears it quite often.

i love Sofia's cabochon ruby parure. I wonder why it has never been worn again by her, or at least lent to the infantas. Pity its stored away somewhere.

So, the most likely is that Letizia will be the next user of those wonderful jewels :flower:

I really can't stand her not so royal and historical necklaces.
She doesn't seem to have many necklaces like those worn by Queen Elizabeth, Queen Anne-Marie and Queen Margrethe. |

I doubt this tiara will be given to Letizia, as it seems this tiara is "reserved" for the Queen. King Juan Carlos' mother, the Countess of Barcelona, never wore this tiara. |
