    On 25th April 2011, King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia hosted a dinner at Madrid's Royal Palace (Palacio de Oriente) for the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Hamad Bint Khalifa Al-Thani and his wife Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser.

    On this occasion, Queen Sofia wore an impressive necklace of two rows of graduated emerald beads. The colour of these emeralds is very luscious, and the size of the biggest emeralds is impressive.

    Does anyone know the origin of these emeralds? Are they a gift from the Emir of Qatar? Have they been seen on Queen Sofia on other occasions?






    There seems to be a matching bracelet too :
