This captivating historical novel tells the life of Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg, the last Spanish queen before the Second Republic, through the history of her jewelry. From her arrival in Spain in 1906 to marry Alfonso XIII until her exile, the work explores how jewelry pieces were not only symbols of power but also silent witnesses to her heartbreaks, the king's infidelities, and the secrets of the monarchy. The author, Nieves Herrero, weaves the queen's life with that of her jeweler, Ramiro García-Ansorena, who teaches her that while love is fleeting, precious stones endure. The plot connects Victoria Eugenie's past with the present, highlighting the famous 'joyas de pasar' (heirloom jewels) that Queen Letizia guards today, revealing the secrets and historical weight these pieces hold.
