On Thursday, Letizia attended a meeting at the Students Residence in Madrid. She wore gold bezel-set diamond drop earrings. The Queen Letizia Style blog unearthed a picture of her wearing the same pair of earrings in 2007, so they’ve been in her jewelry box for almost a decade.

Letizia chose her long, intricate gold statement earrings to deliver La Caixa scholarships in Madrid on Friday.

9. Queen Maxima of the Netherlands also gave us a recent repeat this week: for a visit to a medical foundation in Amsterdam on Wednesday, she wore her pearl drop earrings with a whimsical pearl necklace. (She recently wore the necklace, paired with a second strand, to christen a ship. Read more here!)

5. While hosting a SportsAid gala dinner at Kensington Palace on Thursday, the Duchess of Cambridge debuted a new pair of Cartier earrings. (More about the pair, plus close-ups, over here!)

4. Diamonds an appropriate choice of jewelry for the Countess of Wessex at the Duke of Edinburgh Awards’s “Diamonds are Forever” gala on Thursday evening. Well, some of these are probably diamonds — but Anna identifies the necklace as a piece from Heavenly Necklaces.

3. At the Epsom Derby on Saturday, Queen Elizabeth II wore one of her most glittering and glamorous brooches: the Cullinan V. (Read more about the piece over here!)

2. Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg hosted the Romanians for a state visit this week. Grand Duchess Maria Teresa had to bow out of the visit because of an undisclosed family emergency, so Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie stepped up her tiara game at the state banquet. She wore one of my favorite Luxembourgish tiaras: the Diamond Vine Leaves Tiara.

1. What can beat a diamond tiara? That’s easy: Princess Charlene of Monaco dripping in diamonds! Charlene wore a stunning pair of diamond earrings with a coordinating necklace on Saturday for a performance by musician Marina Kaye.

Letizia wore the company’s “Kraz” earrings for the first time in public at Wednesday’s National Culture Awards ceremony. The earrings are made of two separate elements: a stud that features a cluster of three mother-of-pearl stones, and a suspended drop. For Thursday’s outing, she wore the firm’s pear-shaped drops in raspberry agate.

At Zarzuela Palace on Thursday, Letizia demonstrated the earrings’ versatility, swapping out the raspberry drops for pear-shaped onyx drops.
