Die große
Brosche aus Diamanten und Brillanten wurde für Königin Ena
bei Cartier in den 1920ern gefertigt. Es war eine ihrer bevorzugten
Stücke, die sie bis ins Alter getragen hat, die Brosche lässt
sich verkleinern, in vielfacher Weise und in unterschiedlicher Grösse
tragen.
Oben im Bild aus
dem Jahr 1947, ist die Königin von Spanien mit Diamantschmuck
abgebildet, den sie mit ihren berühmten Smaragden kombiniert.
Die spanische Königin Victoria Eugenia hinterliess ein Testament
vom 29.Juni 1963, diese Brosche/ Korsagenschmuck wurde mit anderen
Schmuckstücken innerhalb der Familie an ihren 2.Sohn Infante
Jaime Herzog von Segovia, verteilt. Seine 2. Frau Charlotte Tiedemann liess den Schmuck in Genf bei Christies 1977 neben anderem Schmuck
und einer Diamant Riviere versteigern.
Victoria Eugénie
Julia von Battenberg, genannt Ena von Battenberg, (* 24. Oktober 1887
in Balmoral; † 15. April 1969 in Lausanne) war Königin von
Spanien. Ihre Eltern waren Prinzessin Beatrice von Großbritannien
und Irland 1857–1944 und Prinz Heinrich Moritz von Battenberg
1858–1896. Sie ist die Grossmutter des jetzigen spanischen Königs
Juan Carlos.
This brooch seemed to be a favorite jewel of Victoria Eugenia; she
wore it until her last years. The Queen of Spain, shown in the picture
at the pre-wedding gala in London in 1947, iswearing the impressive
art deco diamond stomacher made for her by Cartier. The corsage brooch
could be entirely dismantled into smaller pieces.
According to Ansorena, the Court Jeweler, Queen Victoria Eugenia
received two new diamonds each year, which were added to the original
choker of 30 large diamonds (7 carats each).
During exile, in 1961, Queen Victoria Eugenia divided the very long
sautoir into two shorter necklaces.
Her last will is not known. According to the Spanish law, there
is no public access to this type of document until 50 years has passed.
The annex where the Queen designated the jewels she wanted to be passed
to her grandson King Juan Carlos (the fleur-de-lys tiara, the twin
diamond bracelets made with diamonds from the crown by Cartier, the
pearl necklace of Queen Mercedes, and the longest part of the diamond
necklace, among others), however, is well known.
Her jewelry collection was extensive but she, following the Spanish
tradition of giving the personal jewels to the daughters, left them
to be shared by Infanta Beatriz, Princess
Torlonia and Infanta Cristina, Countess Marone. There was a serious
conflict and finally they reached an agreement. Both her sons and
daughters received some of the most important jewels. Others were
given to personal friends of the Queen like the present Duchess
of Alba, who received a pearl and diamond bracelet.
Don Jaime Duke of Segovia, received the second collet diamond necklace along with
the stomacher above, and some other pieces formerly in the collection
of Queen Ena. The stomacher and necklace were sold in 1977 by his
widow, Charlotte Tiedemann, Duchess of Segovia, due to the bad relationship she had with
the two sons of Don Jaime.
Over the years King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofía have bought
back some jewels like the original diamond necklace. Another piece
formerly in the collection of Queen Victoria Eugenia and now the property
of Queen Sofía is the Cartier pearl tiara inherited by Infanta
Cristina and sold to King Juan Carlos some years ago. We have never
seen Queen Sofía wearing it with emeralds
