    Do you mean a large pendant brooch? There´s a pic of Queen Victoria Eugenia wearing it in the late 20´s. Sandra wore it for the second wedding of her son along with emerald earpendants.

    : The Torlonia sisters (I cannot remember wich
    : lady) also have some fabulous emeralds from
    : Queen Ena. Sometime ago I remember seeing a
    : picture of one of the sisters wearing the
    : big emerald brooch from Queen Ena. The
    : stones are really huge, the brooch resembles
    : the emerald one wore by Princess Lilian. I
    : am not shure but I beleive there are also
    : emerald earrings matching.

    : Queen Ena chose to give the majority of her
    : jewels, specially the ones with coloured
    : precious stones, to her daughters and their
    : descent. The most important diamond jewelry
    : remained in the main line and are called
    : "las joyas de pasar", meaning they
    : are the jewels to be passed along to future
    : queens of Spain. These include the riviére
    : necklaces, the wonderful Ansorena
    : Fleur-de-Lys Tiara, the big diamond
    : bracelets once a wedding gift small diamond
    : crown, and some diamond and pearl brooches.

    : Altought those were the Queen's wishes I
    : really think it's a pity that Queen Sofia
    : has only a small emerald set (she wore it on
    : the Prince of Asturias wedding), compared to
    : the regal huge emeralds owned by her
    : husband's cousins... These and the
    : impressive aquamarine parure would look
    : absolutely wonderful on Her Majesty.

    : The actual owner is Sandra, the mother of
    : Conde Lequio. She show them in the
