    Thank you very much for this picture new to me! So the necklace was sold by the Baviera branch and the king bought it back to the main line. Wonderful!

    : When, some years ago, I first saw Queen
    : Sofia wearing this necklace I thought it was
    : a new piece, as I found it very modern
    : looking.
    : So when I read the book by Ricardo Saenz de
    : Medrano on the jewels of the Queens of Spain
    : I was very surprised to find out that the
    : necklace had been owned by Queen Maria
    : Cristina, and King Juan Carlos had bought it
    : back.
    : I really like it, it has a timeles design,
    : very simple and elegant, that has survived
    : through generations. I hope the next
    : generations of spanish royal ladies will
    : wear it too.
