Jewels at the Wedding of the Count of Osorno
Posted by The Royal Watcher on May 24, 2021, 6:40 am
Carlos Fitz-James Stuart y Solís, the 22nd Count of Osorno and the younger son of the Duke of Alba, got married to Belén Corsini in the Gardens of the Palacio de Liria in Madrid yesterday, HERE!
Its interesting (but perhaps not surprising) that many of the Duchess of Alba's nicest jewels have ended up with her only daughter.
I liked the simplicity of the bride's dress. Maybe a tiara would have overwhelmed it but it is a shame that neither of the daughters=in=law of the Duke wore a tiara on their wedding day.
The sons and daughters-in-law of the Duke of Alba are just gorgeous! Seriously good DNA! The next generations will no doubt be even better looking.
This Instagram profile has pictures of the groom and his mother, who wore the most impressive jewels to her elder son's wedding.
The pictures aren't great and my old eyes could be deceiving me (maybe it is just part of her dress) but is she wearing a necklace of diamond collets???

The bride wore a jewel made from a pair of earrings that belonged to her maternal grandmother ( as shared by Tiara Mania ), and not one of the Tiaras of the House of Alba .
More interestingly, Eugenia Martínez de Irujo, the 12th Duchess of Montoro, the aunt of the groom, wore the late Duchess of Alba's Emerald Earrings ! I wonder if they, like the Pearl Tiara that supposedly originates from Empress Eugénie , belong to the Duchess of Montoro now?

I've been curious about her necklace too, and while writing this reply, I think I've figured it out!
This is the clearest picture I could find and it is quite intriguing! She wore the sapphire tiara from her own family as a necklace at her elder son's wedding, and this necklace looks quite like a diamond tiara the family also own, so it could very well be the same piece!

Very beautiful and simple nuptials I'd say. The fact that such a wealthy family is going shy on jewels means they may have more belief in the other assets and puts more emphasis on these other assets such as their massive landed estates of which I have read are many. Retaining just a few pieces of jewels seem to be con in these days, but Retaining the estate seem to be coup.

Dave.
