Queen Ena, born in 1887 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland was the youngest grand daughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. She became the Queen of Spain as the wife of King Alfonso XIII from their marriage in 1906. She created the 'joyas de pasar' - a collection of Spanish royal jewels that passes from monarch to monarch. The photograph below shows Queen Ena wearing the brooch circa 1920's.
