Died at the Liria Palace in Madrid while visiting HER SISTER not an old friend . Her sister was the Duchess of Alba. Thanks for this interesting walk through her beautiful jewels.
The Palace of Liria where the empress die was the House of her sister married to the duke of alba. So she wasnt visiting a friend .she was in fact at her sister Palace. Also Queen victoria Eugenia was very close to her so she left her emeralds
Ena (Queen Victoria of Spain) was Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom's granddaughter and the godchild of Eugenie, so Eugenie who lived after exile on the estate of QV most likely gave her jewelry to her goddaughter. She no children left to live it too, and did give Ena pieces of her jewelry.
It’s almost as if she had no home in her old age and traveled around to here and there and I too feel sad for her life almost like the old saying. Heavy is the crown
She wasn’t visiting a friend but her relatives from the Alba family as her sister was the former Duchess of Alba. However, she passed away around 1860. Eugenia passed away in 1920!
Her sister was long dead when she died so was her sisters son so it would of been her sisters grandson the 17th Duke of Alba she was staying with at the time
Beautiful jewels, I have some good ones and shall one day commission Van Cleef and Arpels to make the Scott Tiara using Si 1 flawless diamonds with interchangeable rubies, emeralds, blue topaz and Ceylon blue sapphires! Janice C Scott.
Si 1 (‘Slightly included, level 1’) is quite a way from ‘flawless’). Here are the clarity grades, listed from Flawless down to I3: Flawless IF (Internally Flawless) VVSI (Very, very slightly included) VSI (Very slightly included) SI1 (Slightly included grade 1) SI2 (Slightly included grade 2) SI3 (Slightly included grade 3) I1, I2, I3 (many inclusions [flaws] visible to the naked eye; rarely used in fine jewelry) The ideal diamond would be a D colour, IF stone of Excellent polish and symmetry, zero fluorescence, preferably a Type IIa (from the former Golconda mines in India). Such a stone rarely turns up at auction, especially above 2 carats (VERY few could afford such a diamond).
Слышала. Что в аукционом доме Сотбис не очень давно была продана брошь (!) Марии Антуанеты , казненной во время французской революции ( предполагают ее сдала наследница служанки королевы Франции ) а почему не вернули это украшение наследникам казненных монархов , слышала что кто- то еще жив !???
Eugenie’s True Power lay in the fact that she had the face of an innocent angel-but a personality & will that was hard as rocks- and often, cold as ice. (When she learned that Napoleon had surrendered to the Germans, but was alive, she fell to her knees, screaming, “Why didn’t he at least have the decency to DIE like a REAL man?”)
I recently acquired an original watercolor of her. In it, she’s wearing a tiara and a beautiful bracelet. She sure loved her jewelry!

EL PHOTOSHOP ES TAN VIEJO COMO LOS PINCELES DE LOS PINTORES CORTESANOS.

I think she ordered a lot of jewellery from Chaumet. 🙂
I dont hear much about her pearls.
I love large saltwater natural pearls. 😂
Computer generated narration ruins the otherwise great video.
