This thread can be used for discussing jewels worn by or possessed by Queen Letizia

On the other hand, given that she has to shake more than 1000 hands today, maybe it was a wise decision not to wear any rings.
those earrings have special meaning to her.
Well from the photo's I think Letizia wore her diamond star earrings,surely she could have worn something else given the ceremonial occasion and she didn't wear any rings.

Perhaps the new King should give her a new pair of diamond hoops or studs that she can wear everyday instead of those stars. And as far as the rings go. She rarely wears rings, every now and then her wedding band. So her not wearing her rings was not surprising.Perhaps, those earrings have special meaning to her.
I certainly agree, but I believe I read somewhere that the star earrings were given to her by Felipe for a special personal occasion and that he loves seeing her wear them. Who really knows. If true I can think of quite a few "personal" moments who's memory would make me feel loved.
The Order of Charles IIIAnyone know what the blue ribbon with medal/jewel attachment is?

This is my thought as well. I think they were a gift to mark something very special between them - maybe the birth of their daughters (I'm not sure when she started wearing them) or maybe something else that is just special to her and Felipe. Either way, the stars seem to hold great sentimental value for her to wear them today. We will never know. Personally I was hoping she would wear her wedding earrings again.That seems very likely. Perhaps they were a gift from her husband ?
Personally, I think it Letizia likes the star earrings or if they have a special meaning to her, there is nothing wrong in her wearing them everyday. Funny, nobody seems to complain about QE2 or Camilla wearing their regular pearl and diamond earrings on a day to day basis.
I can understand how this momentous day can be overwhelming to someone like Letizia. On a conscious level you think you are ready, but on the subconscious? Just look how Maxima spent her day. She looked happy, but just a little overwhelmed by the whole occasion.
She is going to look stunning in all of the tiaras now. I just hope that we get to see them more often. I can't blame her for choosing something comfortable on such a momentous day.
The whole jewellery deal was decidedly odd. Earlier she wore her wedding diamond drop earrings with a very day dress and Lenore wore the diamond star earrings. But as to her rings, I think we, as has Queen Letizia, had a crash course on why Queen Maxima followed Queen Elizabeth's habit of wearing gloves. Any rings on her tiny little hands would have rubbed her fingers raw with over 1000 handshakes!Well from the photo's I think Letizia wore her diamond star earrings,surely she could have worn something else given the ceremonial occasion and she didn't wear any rings.
And that is the kicker. Today she became a Queen! Her Verela ensemble was fabulous although I'm obviously going colour blind because I thought it was the most gorgeous blush and the scattered pale crystals that deepened in colour as it graduated up to deep red and gold at the neck just begged to reflect off diamond drop earrings. And, let's face it, if ever there was a "day" occasion and ensemble to pair with a diamond drop, it was then. Instead she wore the dreaded childlike stars . . .Day day to basis is fine but today Letizia became Queen Consort of Spain,the occasion warranted better attention to what jewels she wore and seeing as she now has the jewels of the Queens of Spain at her disposal her choice was lazy.
