: On Queen Ena's last will she devided her
: fabulous jewelry amongs her children. She
: left her fabulous aquamarines and emeralds
: to her daughters, but the majority of her
: Diamond jewels were left to her son the
: Count of Barcelona, on the condition that
: they would remain in the main line and be
: worn by the next Queens of Spain. These were
: known as "las joyas de pasar"
: meaning they were the jewels that should be
: handed to the next queen to wear.
:
: These jewels include the most iconic pices
: from Queen Ena, like the Fleur-de-Lys
: Diamond tiara, the big Diamond riviéres,
: Queen Ena's twin diamond bracelets, and I
: believe the big round Diamond earrings and
: I'm not sure if one of the Diamond bow
: brooches. I need to check my books later on
: this, I'm not sure if more pieces are
: included in las joyas de passar.
: So, the soon to be Queen Letizia will
: certainly have this major jewels at her
: disposal. Surely she will also have acess to
: the smaller tiaras and she also has her
: never seen fleurs-de-lys tiara.
: Since she is a small lady she will most
: certainly wear the Fleur-de-Lys tiara in the
: more closed version, like Queen Ena wore it
: in her early years as queen. Queen Sofia
: never wore the more closed version.
:
: Here is the queen wearing the Ansorena
: Fleur-de-lys tiara (open version), the
: Diamond earrings and the bracelets from
: Queen Ena included in "las joyas de
: pasar"
