Queen Letizia Jewels: June 2014 - Dec. 2021

[Prinsara]

It's not really fair to Letizia that she happens to be queen of a place whose most important tiara is both a bit too big for her and also has no adjustable size or setting. If she wore the extensions likely necessary to make a more suitably elaborate hairdo, that would likely make things heavier when the one strength of La Buena is that it is relatively light.

Perhaps in a few years she won't always have to wear it for the ultimate occasions anymore.

If I was Letizia's jeweller, I would advise her to fit the diadem on a 3/4 circlet monture.

Now the diadem is placed on an open setting. A 3/4 circlet makes that the sides of the diadem do not end abruptly but fold nicely back into the hairdo.

 

[Duc_et_Pair]

As discussed in another forum, the Fleur de Lys brooch is actually a detachable element of her Ansorena wedding gift tiara.

It is curious that Letizia is wearing the foremost Bourbon symbol (the Fleur de Lys) whereas Queen Silvia is wearing a tiara that belonged to the wife of Napoleon (the greatest foe both of the French and the Spanish Bourbons ).

Well... the present Prince Napoléon has a Bourbon mother...

Would it not possible to make an flexible frame? This seems the case for the Cameo tiara which was worn yesterdayn in a more open setting by Queen Silvia then it was by CP Victoria at her Wedding Day.

I think most diadems are -within limits- flexible. Queen Silvia indeed has worn the Cameo, the Bragança and the Leuchtenberg in an extremely open setting, but also as a nice closed circlet.


The open structure of the Buena makes me think any professional jeweller can fix it on a 3/4 circlet monture.

At lasrt it was worn by Queen Ena in an almost closed circlet in her younger years. But probably it was changed at some point as in her later years she wore it open like it is now worn.

Another funny twist is that the first Bernadotte queen, Desirée, was the sister-in-law of Joseph Bonaparte who for a few years replaced the Bourbons as King of Spain.

The jewels she wore on on the state visit look impressive enough to common people like me, but I guess some royal watchers are too demanding.

The fleur de lys broch is by far one of the queens favourites ,what ever happened to the beautiful brooch worn in Denmark in 2015.

I don't think its seen the light of day since?

Thats possible It would be nice she had worn her bee brooch on the arrival, would be a good match for the dress color,https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6f/26/e9/6f26e95b46562471364733e2c2e4662d.png
And for the evening reception a simple bracelet would be a nice addition like this one https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/11/07/21/461D32B700000578-0-image-a-52_1510088885664.jpg.

I think Im demanding, she "debuted" so many "new" Jewels at the state visit to UK and Japan i hoped for different jewels this time too. Of course it could be worse..

It is, unfortunately she prefers her Fdl brooch for Gala Dinners..

That's true but the combination of Jewels at the State Banquet is the same she has worn several times. And i find it a bit strange that she wears more Jewels at a State Banquet for a president then in a reigning Monarchy.
And we could see yesterday on Queen Silvia that a brooch on a gown helps to pep up an outfit.

Letizia has never been creative on the jewel front.

 

[Blog Real]

Letizia never wears a lot of jewelry, it's only at gala dinners in Spain that she sometimes wears more.
They are jewels of great value, it is risky to bring many on trips.
But on this state visit to Sweden she wore some of the most important ones, like twin bracelets, the fleur-de-lis tiara...

Of course the Jewels have a big Value, but didn't hinder Queen Sofia take them abroady as does it not for other Queens.

Yes it was some of the most important she brought but for exammple the twin bracelets are worn so often by her that it is nothing special anymore. And i dislike the way she wears them both stucked on 1 arm. Would look so much better if each one at 1 arm or only 1 of them.

I have to disagree, I do like the bracelets stacked toghether, they do make a statement like few other bracelets can.

That said, I would like to see her use her Cartier diamond bracelet used more. She used it a lot before becoming Queen, and rarely since.

The state banquet for the Italian president was at home in Spain, which makes things easier for her as she doesn't have to carry expensive jewelry with her on a two-day foreign trip.

And Letizia was wearing not only a simple brooch on her sash at the Swedish state dinner, but actually the detachable central element of her Ansorena tiara (a diamond encrusted Fleur de Lis).

The only thing I miss from Letizia's gala looks (compared to Queen Sofia's) is a more frequent use of colliers. You can see from the Italian state visit how that makes a difference in the overall look.

Yes I agree, it has become very repetitive. Letizia even wears those bracelets or earrings to rather 'normal' = no state events, what cheapens them a bit. We know from Letizia that she often wears especially certain pieces of jewellery ALL.THE.TIME without the slightest variation.

She has so much classy jewellery from her early days that deserves to be repeated, many rings, bracelets or earrings.

I also dislike the way Letizia uses these bracelets at one arm, they don't look beautiful used in that way.

 

[An Ard Ri]

What I find strange are the sentimental items that have gotten the heave-ho (wedding ring,bracelets the one below I believe she used to wear & had some connection with the births of Leonor/Sofia?) .

Queen Letizia is wearing nice Diamond earrings and surprisingly a sapphire bracelet. I think she has worn the bracelet twice before.
