Thank you, Cristina. Strange (and sad) that Queen Sofia did not wear more often these beautiful necklaces.
Queen Victoria-Eugenia received as wedding gift from her uncle, King Edward VII of the United-Kingdom, a full parure of turquoise and diamonds. I think I had read that the turquoises were later replaced by pearls.
The whereabouts of this parure is unknown (at least to me).
