This puts me in mind of the way the major jewels pass down the reigning line in the British royal family

: thank you so much for providing an answer. I
: was not aware that most tiaras of Queen
: Sofia are her private property and thus not
: automatically at the new Queen's disposal.

: jewels to be handed over to her son Juan and
: then to her grandson Juan Carlos (las joyas
: de pasar):
:
: -The Ansorena Fleur-de-Lys tiara
: -The big Diamond riviére
: -A neckace with 37 big pearls

: "La Peregrina" pearl
: -A pair of Diamond earring with a big
: Diamond on the center
: -Two matching bracelet
: -Four rows of big pearl
: -A brooch with a big grey pearl, hanging
: from it a pear shape pearl
:
: Queen Victoria Eugenia in Estoril at the
: prewedding of Infanta Pilar, wearing some of
: the jewels to be passed on, the Ansorena
: tiara, the big riviéres, the Diamond
: earrings and the matching bracelets

: On Queen Ena's last will she devided her
: fabulous jewelry amongs her children. She
: left her fabulous aquamarines and emeralds
: to her daughters, but the majority of her
: Diamond jewels were left to her son the
: Count of Barcelona, on the condition that
: they would remain in the main line and be
: worn by the next Queens of Spain. These were
: known as "las joyas de pasar"
: meaning they were the jewels that should be
: handed to the next queen to wear.
:
: These jewels include the most iconic pices
: from Queen Ena, like the Fleur-de-Lys
: Diamond tiara, the big Diamond riviéres,
: Queen Ena's twin diamond bracelets, and I
: believe the big round Diamond earrings and
: I'm not sure if one of the Diamond bow
: brooches. I need to check my books later on
: this, I'm not sure if more pieces are
: included in las joyas de passar.
: So, the soon to be Queen Letizia will
: certainly have this major jewels at her
: disposal. Surely she will also have acess to
: the smaller tiaras and she also has her
: never seen fleurs-de-lys tiara.
: Since she is a small lady she will most
: certainly wear the Fleur-de-Lys tiara in the
: more closed version, like Queen Ena wore it
: in her early years as queen. Queen Sofia
: never wore the more closed version.
:
: Here is the queen wearing the Ansorena
: Fleur-de-lys tiara (open version), the
: Diamond earrings and the bracelets from
: Queen Ena included in "las joyas de
: pasar"
:
:
:
: Queen Ena wearing the tiara in the more
: closed version
