Manuel you're spoiling us!! Lovely photos, some unknown to me. A thread on the jewels of the two infantas (sisters of the former king), wonderful!
Interesting modern saphire set Infanta Pilar is wearing on your 4th pic. Here's a good view on the fan shape saphire brooch, its a favourite of hers and has been worn as center of a necklace. The multigem and pearl bracelet has also been a favourite of hers over the years.
The Monpensier saphires of Infanta Pilar. On recent years she started to wear the larger piece as pendant on her pearl necklace
Infanta Pilar has lent her saphire tiara to her sister and as bridal tiara to two of her daughters in law. In 2004 Laura Ponte wore the tiara upside down, to match her 1920's style wedding dress.
Infanta Pilar also has some nice emeralds. Her triangular emerald necklace was worn as bridal tiara by another of her daughters in law (last of your pics)
Infanta Margarita also has her own tiara, a small diamond arches tiara, that can be topped with pearls.
