Summery Spanish Royal Jewels in Palma de Mallorca

Last week, both Queen Letizia and Queen Sofia were present as the Spanish royals held a traditional summer event in sunny Palma de Mallorca, greeting locals at a palace reception.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia welcomed guests to Marivent Palace, the family’s summer residence in Mallorca, for a reception on July 29. They were joined by Felipe’s mother, Queen Sofia, who spends much of her time at the royal residence in the Balearic Islands.

For this annual reception, the ladies of the family generally wear casual, summery clothes, a nod to the season and the more casual island attitude of Mallorca. UFO No More tells us that Queen Letiiza’s orange, white, and gold dress comes from the brand Maksu. Beside her Queen Sofia wears a floral tunic and matching trousers in shades of green, blue, and taupe.

Queen Letizia picked up the gold accents on her dress by wearing a pair of large, shiny gold hoop earrings. She has several versions of this classic design in her jewelry box.

Her other jewelry accessory, worn on the index finger of her left hand, was her Coreterno ring. She’s been wearing the ring, which is engraved with poetry by Dante, since the early months of last year.

Where Letizia goes for a minimalist jewelry style, her mother-in-law has always signaled that more is more where jewelry pieces are concerned. She piled on necklaces and bracelets for the reception, including a sautoir-length, chain-link necklace. Among the stack of necklaces was another with a pendant featuring a milky blue gemstone. Sofia also wore earrings that matched that particular necklace and pendant.
