Thank you Josefine. Infanta Elena is wearing the Marichalar tiara, that belonged to her ex-husband's family, The Counts of Ripalda. They decided to offer it as gift to the Infanta. She wore it on her wedding and in all the oficial ocasions since then.
When single she wore the prussian tiara, the floral tiara and in a painting of the rpyal family she is wearing the Mellerio shell tiara, althought she was never photographed with it.
On the pre-wedding gala for the heir of Wurtemberg and Princess Marie of Wied, the Infanta wore the small circle tiara of Queen Sophie of Greece, not seen in a long time. I'm guessing this was a loan from her aunt, Princess Irene of Greece, whom I believe inherited it, she wore it often in her younger years.
Infanta Elena has some nice sets of diamond and precious stones jewels, but I have no information on them. As a young Infanta she wore several diamond and small stones necklaces on oficial function, mainly in the 1980's and early 90's, but those were from her mother's collection.
