Wonderful photos and an interesting subject. As for the large pearl worn by Queen Victoria Eugenia I suspect that this is the pearl worn by Queen Sofia, for instance as a pendant - like this:  I could be wrong of course, and I will be happy to be corrected if so   Previous MessageWelcome Thomas, and thank you for such an interesting post. The first photo shows so many of Queen Ena's jewels in incredible detail; yet, it is the view of the pendant pearl which appeals to me most. I have never before appreciated its full beauty. I would love to see a modern colour photo of this pearl. Is there any information about whether it is still with the Spanish royal family? Previous MessageThe picture Dave posted was shot by Nina Leen, for LIFE Magazine, during a session at the Lausanne residence of Queen Victoria Eugénie in 1956. You can see from HR pictures that the Diamond ring is not a solitaire, although I don't have any information about it. The Emerald one may have been privately purchased. it is unclear to me how many emerlds came from Empress Eugénie. Interestingly, she wore both her pearls and her emeralds. |
