EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and historic photograph, newlywed Princess Ena of Battenberg, later Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain, is seen adorned with an exquisite collection of jewels presented to her by King Alfonso XIII and Queen Maria Christina of Spain as wedding gifts. The image captures the grandeur and opulence of the Spanish Royal Court in 1906. The dazzling jewels, worth an impressive 310,000 pesetas (approximately 16,000 in today's currency), include a magnificent diamond and pearl tiara, a stunning necklace adorned with diamonds, pearls, rubies, and emeralds, and a magnificent crown adorned with precious stones. The intricate designs and the brilliant sparkle of the jewels reflect the wealth and power of the Spanish monarchy. The young bride, dressed in a beautiful white wedding gown, looks radiant and joyful as she holds the jewels, her eyes sparkling with excitement and gratitude. The regal setting, with its ornate furnishings and rich colors, adds to the sense of grandeur and importance of the occasion. The wedding of Princess Ena and King Alfonso XIII took place on May 31, 1906, in Madrid, Spain. The couple's union marked the beginning of a new era in Spanish history, and the extravagant wedding gifts were a testament to the wealth and power of the Spanish monarchy. This photograph is a reminder of the opulence and grandeur of the Spanish Royal Court during the early 20th century.
