Not long ago, a set of ruby diamond jewelry appeared on Sotheby's official website, made by the Swiss jewelry company Mouawad.
The set of jewels consists of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, a modern reel-shaped design with a center stone of rectangular and oval rubies, totaling 66 carats. The surrounding diamonds are not light, weighing up to 62ct.
At present, the official website shows that it has been sold, and the transaction price is 69300 Swiss francs,
However, Sotheby's did not disclose the seller's information. After consulting some information, many jewelry experts said that this may belong to the Spanish Princess Christina Infanta Cristina.
Indeed, the princess wore it publicly several times. In May 2004, at the dinner party of Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark and his fiancée Mary, a similar earring + bracelet appeared. ↓
A year later, earrings and bracelets reappeared in her Look, at a reception for foreign diplomats at the Royal Palace of Madrid, a red dress + red jewelry, very elegant and solemn. ↓
The ruby necklace has appeared only once in public, at the 50th anniversary dinner of King Philip of Belgium in April 2010.
Later, this set of jewelry disappeared from the public eye.
For this set of jewelry, some people say that Princess Cristina borrowed it from a jeweler, and the princess only has the right to use it and not the right to dispose of it. Others say it was a gift she received when she got married in 1997.
In fact, this is not impossible for Cristina. After all, she was all removed from the Spanish royal family. It's not uncommon to sell some jewelry to make ends meet on a tight budget.
The last time it was in the news was in March of this year.
At the age of 55, she and her sister Grand Princess Elena sneaked out of the country in the name of visiting her father to receive our country's NEW CROWN vaccine in the United Arab Emirates...
As soon as the news came to light, it exploded in Europe: due to vaccine shortages in Spain, the two princesses were not "eligible" to be vaccinated at this age.
Their behavior belongs to the "insertion of the queue", which has been criticized by the public: "The insertion of the team to get the vaccine is too ugly and uncomfortable." ”
But for Princess Cristina, it's all a small case and not worth mentioning.
The biggest scandal of her life was the loss of her husband: becoming the first member of the royal family in Spain to face criminal charges in court since the restoration of the royal family in 1975.
Before meeting the donkey, Cristina was also a very inspirational female student, who studied in the United States and obtained a master's degree, ranking among the best among European princesses.
Not only is he highly educated, but he also has military training and can skydiving, skiing, boating, and gliding. At the 1988 Seoul Olympics, she was a member of the Spanish sailing team.
He often participates in public welfare activities, has served as a goodwill ambassador, and has also worked in the United Nations, becoming the first person in the Spanish royal family to earn a salary.
In 1996, at the Atlanta Olympics, she met the sports star Udan Garin, who was 3 years younger, and the other side was also handsome and had won a gold medal.
The two fell in love at first sight and fell in love. One is an Olympic champion and the other is a noble princess, who has been blessed by many people.
In 1997, Princess Cristina and her horse held a lavish wedding in Barcelona, with thousands of guests, all princes, nobles, and high-class people. I found that they all loved pearl jewelry. ↓
The wedding scene of that year, put to the present, is also beautiful to no ↓
I have to say that Cristina was still very popular in the royal family at that time. The earrings that the empress dowager had stipulated could only be worn by the queen also lent her to wear.
Even the veil belonged to my great-grandmother, which meant a lot.
Hola magazine featured Infanta Cristina's wedding as a cover.
After marriage, the two gave birth to 4 children, like glue, love and sweetness.
The horse, on the other hand, went to an MBA and founded a non-profit foundation called the Noos Institute. With the aura of a member of the royal family, business is doing well. At a "sky-high price" of 43 million yuan, I bought a big house!
As a result, it was too high-profile, causing dissatisfaction among the masses and encountering financial investigations. It turned out that the horse had transferred 5.8 million euros that had been used for public sporting events to the institute and then to an offshore bank account.
As soon as the scandal came out, it shook all of Spain. In 2013, Cristina was included in the list of defendants, with wave after wave of complaints.
The steed was directly stripped of her royal title, and the Spanish royal family also wanted to save the second princess, but the masses were not fooled, so they had to drive her out of the royal family.
And the princess's father, King Juan, was not very well evaluated. In 2014, he directly handed over the throne to his son, now Felipe VI.
By 2017, the pack horse was sentenced to 5 years and 10 months in prison, and Princess Cristina, although acquitted, also had to accept a high fine, and the mansion she lived in was also listed for sale.
So, it's no surprise that she's going to sell her jewelry.
Spanish royal jewelry, not too much. Most of the jewelry is now worn by Princess Letizia.
Looking through Princess Cristina's "jewelry box", I found that she also wore some of them. When looking for a picture, it is difficult not to be blind, after all, Cristina's appearance recognition is not too high, and there is a Dutch princess with the same name.
Fortunately, there is a small pimple in the lower left corner of her nose, which is still not so easy to confuse.
Cristina's favorite gemstone is emeralds. This brooch, set with 4 emeralds, has been worn publicly many times.
Brooches can also be worn as necklaces. Satin bandeau dress + emerald, noble and elegant, temperament outstanding.
It is also possible to remove two emerald stud earrings, which she and her sister have worn.
This is one of the few stunning looks in her style, lining the whole person with gentleness and freshness.
This diamond pearl crown, created by Cartier in 1920, was one of the wedding gifts of the princess's great-grandmother, Queen Queen Ena of Spain. It was a lot of weight in the Spanish royal family.
The other pearl looks are also beautiful.
Fresh aquamarine always adds a little gentleness to people. Not as colorful, but just right.
For women, prepare one or two pieces of precious jewelry to lean over, do not lose their shares on important occasions, and show their taste in the streets every day.
More importantly, unlike luxury goods such as luxury cars, bags, and yachts, the price is greatly reduced over time, but the value will increase over time.
