Bets open: what jewels of the Duchess will Palazuelo wear at her wedding?

[Akrapovic]

Although virtually all the main details of the big day have been revealed, everything that surrounds the bride's look is still a mystery. Among the secrets: the jewels you will wear

In just three days, the Duke of Huéscar will marry at the Palacio de Liria with his longtime girlfriend, Sofía Palazuelo. A link that will make it a full member of the noble house with the most solera (and titles) of Spain and that will place it in the media ramp.

And, although almost all the main details of the wedding have already been revealed, everything that surrounds the look of the bride is still a mystery. From the beginning she made sure that it would be her aunt, the bridal designer Teresa Palazuelo, who would dress her on her big day. However, it will not be until Saturday when we will know if it will be so.

Similarly, we do not know if he will wear jewels from the treasure of the missing Duchess of Alba or what they will be. Of course, the bets point in several directions: will the ducal tiara carry? A mounted choker? Or will you opt for the brilliant earrings of your wedding with Alfonso Diez? Of course, options are not lacking.

What is clear is that the one chosen by her mother-in-law, Matilde Solis, will not wear during her wedding with the current head of the house. He wore the impressive Russian tiara that, after the link, Cayetana de Alba sold to buy a horse for his son Cayetano. Today, this iconic piece of the family belongs to the Ariel Saidian antique dealer.

A great loss for his heirs (we would not know what would be of the famous equine), but that opens the way to other great pieces of his jeweler so that the future Duchess of Huéscar intones the "yes, I want" as a true European princess.
The pearl and diamond tiara

It was one of Cayetana's favorite jewels and also of her daughter Eugenia. Transformable into a necklace, it is a fabulous diadem of pearls and diamonds dated from the 19th century that the Duchess of Alba inherited from Empress Eugenie de Montijo.

It is undoubtedly one of the jewels with the greatest symbolism of the family. Not only was she the one she wore during her wedding with Luis Martínez de Irujo, her first husband and father of her six children (it was the only wedding she had a headband on), but she was also the one chosen by her daughter Eugenia during her wedding with Fran Rivera.

Many have been the occasions when the duchess took him both in the form of a tiara (the least) and a necklace.
The ducal tiara and her emeralds

The other great piece of the Alba family is the impressive diamond and emerald headband from Cayetana. A piece that wore on more than one occasion throughout his life (one of them during the wedding of the Count of Quintanilla with Teresa de Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn) and that is postulated as one of the safest options in Palazuelo.

Although it is something ostentatious, one of the emerald necklaces of the aristocratic jeweler could also be mounted in the form of a tiara and combine it with the impressive earrings that we have seen so many times.
Genoveva's tiara bracelet

Precisely, this is what Genoveva Casanova did in his wedding with Cayetano Martínez de Irujo in the chapel of the Palacio de las Dueñas. The duchess lent to her then future daughter-in-law (it would not be for a long time) the diamond bracelet that her first husband, Luis Martínez de Irujo, gave her at the hand request.

An impressive Ansorena diamond bracelet that became an ideal tiara for this great day. Of course, the Duchess of Alba took her on her wedding day.

The Egyptian necklace

This impressive piece of Bulgari would be another option that could be mounted in the form of a tiara. And is that its colored stones would give a superoriginal touch to your look. Although Cayetana considered it a minor piece of the jeweler, its value remains very high and we do not rule out choosing it for its big day.

The earrings of his wedding with Alfonso

He didn't wear a tiara but he did have impressive earrings with diamonds. His third wedding, in which he married Alfonso Diez was a party without great expense, but not a minor date.

For this occasion he chose this jewel that we do not know if it was a gift from his fiance or if it belonged to the family jeweler. Will you honor her with these earrings on her wedding day?
