Love, beauty and freedom: the symbolism of Queen Letizia’s earrings worth more than 1,000 euros

New act on the agenda of Their Majesties. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia kicked off the week as president of the Royal Palace of Aranjuez the annual meeting of the Cervantes Institute Board of Trustees and lunch with the Cervantes Institute Board of Trustees and the Ibero-American Ambassadors accredited to Spain. Don Felipe and Doña Letizia will lead this annual event for which His Majesty the King holds the Honorary Presidency. During this day, they presented the ‘2022 Ñ Award’ to Gabriele Moreli, Italian-Spanish philologist, professor at the University of Bergamo.

The Cervantes Institute is a public institution established in Spain in 1991 for the promotion and teaching of the Spanish language and for the dissemination of Spanish and Latin American culture. Its headquarters are in Madrid and in Alcalá de Henares, the birthplace of the writer Miguel de Cervantes, while the Institute’s centers are spread over four continents. Under the Honorary Presidency of Your Majesty the Kingthe President of the Government holds the executive presidency and the elected members are appointed from among outstanding representatives of Spanish and Latin American literature and culture, from the Royal Academies, universities and other social institutions, while the writers are awarded the Miguel de Cervantes Prize for Literature (Cervantes Prize).

This time, Doña Letizia has dusted off a red cocktail dress, no doubt her fetish hue. Featuring a V-neckline, puff sleeves and an asymmetrical drop, this design is signed by Cherubina and she already wore it on another occasion, specifically Armed Forces Day in 2018 and last July when she took it to the National Sports Awards. She combined this look with Carolina Herrera slingback pumps, which she has in different colors, since it is a model she often goes to.

As for the haircut, the queen has worn it with lightly highlighted natural waves giving the visual sensation of being able to cut her well-groomed hair. On the other hand, the jewels, another aspect of great importance in her outfits, have not gone unnoticed, as she has alternated the low cost with earrings from the firm (one of her favorites). Gold & Roses, of more than 1,000 euros. It is the Needle I am Red model from 1,680 euros. The motto of this design is a statement of principles “and feelings of red: love, beauty and freedom”, they explain from the brand. The earrings the Queen chose for this occasion are made of 18 ky rose gold, diamonds (0.26 cts) and rubies (0.32 cts).

“Gold&Roses jewelry complies with the Responsible Jewelry Council’s code of conduct, the sustainability standard that covers the entire jewelry supply chain. One of these standards is the use of recycled gold from existing stock or gold mined from artisanal mining according to the Fairmined Fair Mining standard. In addition, the diamonds are covered by the guarantee clause of the Kimberley Process, the certification system for international trade in diamonds that do not come from countries in conflict,” they explain of the brand.

Her inseparable gold Karen Hallam ring, which King Felipe VI gave her, should not be missing from this outfit. Since receiving this gift from Her Majesty, she has always worn it whenever she has had an event. As the King and Queen continue their agenda in Spain, the long-awaited countdown begins for Princess Leonor to return to the traditional Princess of Asturias Awardswhich will take place on October 28.

It will be on Thursday the 27th when she reappears with her sister, the Infanta Sofía, and her parents, the kings, Felipe VI and Letizia. The entire royal family will inaugurate when they visit Asturias by attending the inaugural concert that will take place a day before the famous awards ceremony.
