ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Love fades, but jewelry endures.
Madrid, 1906. Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, best known by her nickname, Ena, marries Alfonso XIII. Their wedding is marked by tragedy: an attack on the bridal cortege makes the bride arrive at the Royal Palace with her dress and jewelry covered in blood.
In recent times, a commoner woman marvels at the Spanish Crown jewels. It’s her wedding day, and soon she will become queen. As she is getting ready, the Royal House jeweler, an honor bestowed to the Ansorena family for generations now, explains the history of every tiara, neckless...
In this novel, Nieves Herrero takes us through the fascinating collection that has been passed down from one queen to the next, while recreating Ena’s unfortunate life, marked by an unrequited love and her husband’s infidelity, in a story about how the power of one woman is as everlasting as jewelry.
